Where does it come from?

Words are used to convey ideas and feelings. Way before written text they were the repository of culture and traditions. But words evolve and can get a new meaning totally different from the one initially intended. A fascinating journey through the funny roads of language!

Goodbye... but is it?

The word ” GoodBye” comes from the word ” GodBye” used in Old English which used to mean:  “God be with you”.
