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)”.)

The name ‘sloth’ originated around 1749 and was coined by the French. Today, sloths are considered to be one of the most unique animals in our ecosystem. But, in the 1700s, sloths were thought to be useless by the Europeans. French Naturalist Georges-Lois Leclerc de Buffon described these animals: “slowness, habitual pain, and stupidity are the results of this strange and bungled conformation. These sloths are the lowest form of existence. One more defect would have made their lives impossible.”

The Isle of Cats is a game a lot like Tetris, where you are on an island and trying to collect fancy cats to put on your boat. Each round, there are four cats per player around the island, and you have to fit as many as you can around your boat. You can get points by filling up rooms in your boat, fulfilling objectives, and covering up rats. The game also has a more complicated version with an extra type of cat and fish. The game fits up to four players and is very fun to play with anyone.
