Xepisodes Ipod Problem

origin or etiology of the word * Asshole *

DRAE In: Asshole: 1. adj. vulg. gill, fool, fool.

In Madrid there is a street called Gil Imon, making cross between Paseo Imperial and the Ronda de Segovia, to be exact. It is a street dedicated to that was mayor of the capital, D. Gil Imon, by Dona Mariquita times of my heart, when the Duke of Osuna organized his famous dance, which came the cream social, to bring the family showcase beautiful young ladies of good society, as marriageable offer, which came dressed in their fine moire crinoline. To the young ladies were then applied the name "cock", which in the Dictionary of the English Royal Academy (DRAE) made, as a sixth sense, figuratively and colloquially, the meaning of girls, which today is ignored for the sake language, which now has become tough and coarse, and the evil minds replace the old meaning of other morbid connotations.

My point:

this Don Gil was a character in relief (the proof is that he has dedicated a street) and his name appeared frequently in the echoes of society gossip magazines of the time. The man, after attending to the pressing problems that the mayor acted, he felt obliged to take responsibility for their family duties as a good father. He had two daughters, age worthy, they ugly, not very abundant, wit, and even a little fool tantico. And he was accompanied by them to those sites that was invited as the first municipal authority, had to go.
He, in his mind, came not as the first municipal authority, but as the first family authority. After the imposing municipal whiskers, was hiding a father's heart. Has arrived
D. Gil?
Yes, he's here D. Gil and as always, is accompanied by its cocks.
D. Gil chatted animatedly with the heroes of today and in the meantime, their chicks were to occupy a seat vacated discovered, to wait for some chicken (in male, usually seasoned with pear ("chicken" pear ") are approach, which is always unlikely.
The situation repeated time and again led to the mental association with D. Gil sappy and their cocks. and sent out the species by "the whole Madrid", he composed a special word castiza, born in Madrid and putting into circulation with the mark of the bear and the tree, then were exported to the rest of Spain, and earning the right to pulse entering the Royal English Academy (RAE).
In Castilian English, the usual composition of words: dark green (green and black), silly (and stupid turkey), cauliflower (cabbage and flower) (See, years ago that Mr Max taught us in school to break down these words!).

But how to describe this situation as complex unconscious little fool? The imaginative and well humored Madrid have it easy: to express the idea of \u200b\u200bsappy, tontaina, tontucio, integral sappy, unconscious, (with malice or without malice is another matter.)
it! Gil (Gil D.)-and-cock (the two young daughters from her) = gil-i-cocks.
These are the Releche Madrid!

Throughout history, the term has undergone vicissitudes of all kinds, until finally the SAR, displaying the motto "cleans, fixes and gives splendor", cleaned the floor, has fixed has given him glory and dignity accorded reception in his dictionary.
