My little harum-scarum beauty knows not what strange histories every woman living, who has had the least independence of will, could tell her, were such to be as communicative as she is...
Lovelace to Belford, Clarissa by Samuel Richardson
Uhh... No. At least, not that I know of. There are some with pretty doofy titles though.
Hmm. Is there a fife tune called pell-mell, too?
I think this came from "hare 'em, scare 'em" originally. "Hare it" once meant "to run with great speed" (like a rabbit or hare). You ask me, the "scare 'em" part should have come first, though. :-)
Intellesting. I didn't know this was a real word. It's quite a famous fife tune.
Well, if I'd thought about it at all, I might have figured someone named it that for a reason...
