[Ads-l] quiz and nytimes

[Stephen Goranson]

If I recall correctly. I read an article in NYT, to which I am a subscriber, on the origin of quiz, to which I replied suggesting that queer (odd) plus phiz (physiognomy) contracted was worth considering, but now no comment, unlike before, is allowed.
But I may be mistaken.
