#D249 (double ring to doubleton)

from The Dictionary

I read from double ring to doubleton. The double ring ceremony is a relatively new thing in the Jewish religion/culture. https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/double-ring-ceremonies/ https://18doors.org/the_ring_ceremony/ The double stop cello music is played by the extraordinary Jonah Kraut who also made the theme song! The game Craps has names for all the dice combinations and there are some good ones! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_craps_terms https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/colorful-nicknames-dice-combinations-craps/ You can be the judge if the words "guard" and "ward" are related etymologically. https://www.etymonline.com/word/guard#etymonline_v_14338 https://www.etymonline.com/word/ward#etymonline_v_4827 The term "double team" from the 1800s seems to be more about a double team of horses for plowing, than sports. https://www.etymonline.com/word/double-team#etymonline_v_37621 But I also found this fascinating sport called "Pedestrianism". Who comes up with these things?! https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210723-the-strange-19th-century-sport-that-was-cooler-than-football The Chinese Revolution of 1911 was started on October 10 and lasted just over 4 months. It "led to the establishment of the Republic of China." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1911_Revolution "doubleton" is definitely about the game Bridge. https://kwbridge.com/eval.htm The word of the episode is "double standard". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq [email protected] <a hr
