The Word "Shiv"

Post by deo-pa »

The weekend edition of the Wall St. Journal has a short article on the origin of the word "shiv" for knife: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-pointe ... 1505933014. It appears that Ms. Clinton feels she got shived during the last election. ::ds::

I wonder if the word came from her fervid brain or from a ghost writer. I find it a very odd word for a lady to be using.

I think this tells us something about Hillary which most of us already knew. That she would be familiar with the term "shiv" and use it so fluently with obvious familiarity tells us that criminal or gangland activities are somewhat second nature to her. Not a surprise. ::nod::
