Fwd: Your Alert for "Terminology"

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

    LET THE BIG DOG EAT, a golf dictionary, sounds interesting.  A fine golf
dictionary was published about eight years ago.  This new one probably
doesn't have David Shulman's work on Col. Bogey.
    "Thumbs up/down" on MOA database:

PUNCHINELLO, 8 October 1870, pg. 27:  "Simon says thumbs up."
CENTURY, June 1889, pg. 181:  It will be thumbs down with every woman in the
room.
CATHOLIC WORLD, December 1892, pg. 361:  "Thumbs up, thumbs down, wiggle,
waggle."
NEW ENGLAND MAGAZINE, May 1893, pg. 340:  One was reminded of the arena and
of the controversy of thumbs up and thumbs down.
