Throughout the majority of our waking moments, we wish for companionship. Put into simpler terms, we wish for just a few good buddies. Maybe your choice of activity is going to that newest slasher film, or a midnight fishing trip where no one actually catches anything. No matter the activity, it can’t hurt to have a few friends beside you to support you with whatever life throws your way. Even if “life” is an analogy for a massive space cooperation called “The Company” that sends you and your buddies on essentially suicide missions to fund said company. With that forward out of the way, let’s get right into it.

Tuxedo
Of all things, the word tuxedo came from a place name. The garment was first worn by an anonymous innovator at the country club in a New York resort town called Tuxedo Park. (So the coat was named after the park, not the other way around.) The place’s name came from the name of a local tribe, which appears to have come from another place name, the Munsee Delaware phrase p’tuck-sepo “crooked river”. (It’s not capitalized, because it’s just a sequence of normal words, but it appears to have to some extent referred to a specific place, like how “Newport”, Rhode Island is just “(our) new port (over here)”.)
