Moxie (slang for having heart, courage)

2019-10-15T02:55:00-05:00

Moxie is a trademarked beverage that was originally bottled in 1884 and sold as “nerve food.” Moxie advertising in 1940 contained the line “He’s got Moxie!”—defined in 1941 as “meaning sex appeal, leadership, sand, personality plus, oomph, vim, vigor.” The word “moxie” (not capitalized) has been cited in print since at least 1928, when New York City-based sportswriter Damon Runyon (1880-1946) said that a boxer had “moxie” (heart, courage). Wikipedia: Moxie Moxie is a carbonated beverage that was one of the first mass-produced soft drinks in the United States. It continues to be regionally popular today. Moxie has a unique flavor that is not as sweet as that of most modern soft drinks and that is described by some as “bitter.” Moxie is closely associated with the state of Maine and was designated the official soft drink of Maine on May 10, 2005. Its creator, Dr. Augustin Thompson, was born in Union, Maine, but Moxie was invented and first produced in Lowell, Massachusetts. History Moxie originated as a patent medicine called “Moxie Nerve Food,” which was created around 1876 by Dr. Augustin Thompson in Lowell, Massachusetts. Thompson claimed that it contained an extract from a rare, unnamed South American plant, which had supposedly been discovered by a friend of his, Lieutenant Moxie, who had used it as a panacea. Moxie, he claimed, was especially effective against “paralysis, softening of the brain, nervousness, and insomnia.” After a few years, Thompson added soda water to the formula and changed the product’s name to “Beverage Moxie Nerve Food.” By 1884 he was selling Moxie both in bottles and in bulk as a soda fountain syrup. He marketed it as “a delicious blend of bitter and sweet, a drink to satisfy everyone’s taste.” (Oxford English Dictionary) moxie, n.

“Get off the cross, we need the wood”

2019-10-14T22:36:00-05:00

"Get off the cross, we need the wood” is a reference to Jesus and Christianity. The saying means that someone is not Jesus and is not here to be a savior, so that person should stop trying. “We need the wood” (the wood of the cross) is another added insult to this person. Authorship of the saying is unknown. “But to those who choose to bleed before they see an open wound, please get off the cross. We need the wood” was printed in The Daily News (Longview, WA) on May 31, 1989. “In spite of one or two vintage joshing gags — ‘You never know when you look at a frog whether it’s the same one you just saw or a different one’, ‘Come down off the cross, we need the wood’” was printed in The Observer (London, UK) on November 3, 1991, in a review of the play The Ride Down Mt. Morgan by Arthur Miller. The saying was popularized in the movie Straight Talk (1992), when Dolly Parton, playing ‘Dr.’ Shirlee Kenyon, said: “Get down off the cross, honey.

“Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear” (safety warning)

2019-10-14T07:15:00-05:00

Entry in progress—B.P. Wikipedia: Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear The phrase “objects in (the) mirror are closer than they appear” is a safety warning that is required[a] to be engraved on passenger side mirrors of motor vehicles in the United States, Canada, Nepal, India, and Saudi Arabia. It is present because while these mirrors’ convexity gives them a useful field of view, it also makes objects appear smaller. Since smaller-appearing objects seem farther away than they actually are, a driver might make a maneuver such as a lane change assuming an adjacent vehicle is a safe distance behind, when in fact it is quite a bit closer. The warning serves as a reminder to the driver of this potential problem. OCLC WorldCat record Objects in mirrors are closer than they appear.

Jewish Alps (Washington Heights)

2019-10-14T04:56:00-05:00

Several area of New York City that had a large Jewish popular were dubbed the “Jewish Alps.” “An apartment house section of Brooklyn known as the ‘Jewish Alps’” was printed in the Truth (Buffalo, NY) on May 24, 1919, but it’s uncertain where this was. Washington Heights, in Manhattan, was frequently called the ‘Jewish Alps” in the 1920s and 1930s. “While in this city I shall make a tour of the Jewish Alps in the Fort George Section, which one of my opponents has sneeringly alluded to as ‘Kike’s Peak’” was printed in the New Orleans (LA) States on July 5, 1924. “The heights secured by Washington with powder and shot, the heights known locally as ‘the Jewish Alps’” was printed in the book East Side, West Side (1927) by Felix Riesenberg. “He takes her to the Jewish Alps (168th Street), marries her” was printed in Time magazine on February 7, 1927. “Washington Heights in New Yorkese are ‘the Jewish Alps’” was printed in the book New York, City of Cities (1937) by Hulbert Footner. The “Jewish Alps” term for Washington Heights was seldom used by the 1960s. Jewish entertainers, in the period of about 1920 to 1970, frequently performed at hotels in the Catskill Mountains in New York that were dubbed the “borscht belt” or “borscht circuit.” This region was also called the “Jewish Alps” or the “Yiddish Alps.” “Summer is reported to be on its way and, according to Sidney Heller, the resort owners in the Catskills (or Jewish Alps) are coming to town looking for social staffs” was printed in the Daily News (New York, NY) on May 4, 1935. “Sidney Heller, a New York Hebrew, high in theatrical circles, has renamed the Catskill mountains, the JEWISH ALPS” was printed in the Des Moines (IA) Sunday Register on June 16, 1935. It’s uncertain if Sidney Heller was the first to apply “Jewish Alps” to the Catskills. “The Grossinger Hotel is on the fringe of the Catskills, known as the ‘Yiddish alps’ or the ‘borscht belt’” was printed in Life magazine on January 31, 1938. “The Catskills, sometimes called the Yiddish Alps” was written by Larry King in the Miami (FL) News on June 26, 1970. Wikipedia: Washington Heights, Manhattan Washington Heights is a neighborhood in the northern portion of the New York City borough of Manhattan. The area is named for Fort Washington, a fortification constructed at the highest natural point on the island of Manhattan by Continental Army troops during the American Revolutionary War, to defend the area from the British forces. Washington Heights is bordered by Harlem to the south, along 155th Street; Inwood to the north along Dyckman Street or Hillside Avenue; the Hudson River to the west, and the Harlem River and Coogan’s Bluff to the east. As of 2016, it has 200,000 inhabitants. Wikipedia: Borscht Belt Borscht Belt, or Jewish Alps, is a nickname for the (now mostly defunct) summer resorts of the Catskill Mountains in parts of Sullivan, Orange, and Ulster counties in New York. Borscht, a soup associated with immigrants from eastern Europe, was a metonym for “Jewish”. These resorts were a popular vacation spot for New York City Jews between the 1920s and the 1970s. Most Borscht Belt resorts hosted traveling Jewish comedians and musicians, and many who later became prominent began their careers there. The tradition of Borscht Belt entertainment began in the early twentieth century with the indoor and outdoor theaters constructed on a 40-acre (16-hectare) tract in Hunter, New York, by Yiddish theater star Boris Thomashefsky. Beginning in the 1980s, the growth of air travel made the Catskills less attractive, so many of the resorts eventually closed, although Jewish culture has remained present.

Salad Astoria

2019-10-13T08:36:00-05:00

Waldorf Salad is a famous salad of the old Waldorf-Astoria hotel (1893-1929) at Fifth Avenue and 33rd Street. Swiss-American restaurateur Oscar Tschirky (1866-1950)—called “Oscar of the Waldorf”—also created a Salad Astoria. “Salad Astoria” has been cited in print since at least 1908 and was included in a 1916 cookbook, but is forgotten today. The salad consisted of romaine lettuce with oranges, grapefruit and Bartlett pears. Wikipedia: Waldorf-Astoria (1893-1929) The Waldorf–Astoria originated as two hotels, built side-by-side by feuding relatives on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Built in 1893 and expanded in 1897, the Waldorf–Astoria was razed in 1929 to make way for construction of the Empire State Building. Its successor, the current Waldorf Astoria New York, was built on Park Avenue in 1931. The original Waldorf Hotel opened on March 13, 1893, at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 33rd Street, on the site where millionaire developer William Waldorf Astor had previously built his mansion. Newspapers.com 8 October 1908, The Independent (Attica, KS), pg. 8, col. 5: IS RECIPE OF FAMOUS CHEF. New Salad That Has Caught Popular Fancy in New York. For several years there has been served at the Waldorf-Astoria a salad called the Waldorf salad, which was a joy to the appetite of the bon vivant, but a new salad has been introduced that eclipses it. It is called the Salad Astoria. Not only is it a joy to the appetite, but so attractively put together in its mosaic arrangement of colors that one hesitate to demolish it. Once broken and served it proves so delicious that every woman who partakes of it at once determines to learn how to make one just like it at home. Oscar says it is the simplest and most healthful of luncheon salads. It is made by splitting a head of romaine salad lengthways, laying one-half on a plate with the heart side up, then closely placing alternate quarters of orange, grape fruit and Bartlett pears on the romaine until it is fairly covered, finishing off each end with half of a pickled walnut, decorating the top with tiny strips of green and red peppers, making it look as if tied with narrow ribbons. Then, last of all, pouring over the whole a dainty French dressing and serving.—New York Press. Google Books Handy Household Hints and Recipes Compiled by Mattie Lee Wehrley Louisville, KY: The Breckel Press 1916 Pg. 137: Salad Astoria. This is the successor of the Waldorf salad, and like the long-popular relish, is the invention of “Oscar,” of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. It is at once a decoration for the luncheon table and a delicious morsel. Split a head of romaine salad lengthwise — after discarding the tough outer leaves. Lay a half of the romaine heart on a plate — the cut surface up. Have ready quarters or sections, pared and cored or seeded, of oranges, grapefruit and Barlett pears. Lay these close together, almost overlapping on the romaine, and finish off at each end with half a pickled walnut. Decorate the top of the fruit with thin strips of green and red peppers arranged to imitate baby ribbons. Pour over this French dressing and serve ice cold. Firm canned pears may be substituted for fresh ones.
