WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2014 ITS A FOOLS GAME Suffer the fools and your life will seem so much more sane by comparison. 14 Eustace 3:19 Its A Heartache by Bonnie Tyler youtube/watch?v=nPOy7TPjfkE fool (n.) late 13c., silly or stupid person, from Old French fol madman, insane person; idiot; rogue; jester, also blacksmiths bellows, also an adjective meaning mad, insane (12c., Modern French fou), from Latin follis bellows, leather bag (see follicle); in Vulgar Latin used with a sense of windbag, empty-headed person. Cf. also Sanskrit vatula- insane, literally windy, inflated with wind. Meaning jester, court clown first attested late 14c., though it is not always possible to tell whether the reference is to a professional entertainer or an amusing lunatic on the payroll. As the name of a kind of custard dish, it is attested from 1590s (the food also was calledtrifle, which may be the source of the name).
