Ricki Crush Bandicute TarrSurprise comes from the words Syrup Prize. In the late 1700's, it was a practice to leave Syrup on your neighbors stoop as a treat in the winter.

thomas yager-madden@RickiTarr Sorry to be that guy, but the OED has citations for ‘surprise’ going back to 1457, and its earliest use seems to be mainly in military contexts describing unexpected attacks. A borrowing from the French that reaches back to Latin superprendĕre, to seize, especially unexpectedly
Rev Nathan Ⓥ↔️🇺🇦🇨🇦🇵🇸🇬🇱@tym @RickiTarr that’s exactly what Big Latin wants you to think.
for a day, while . . .if only George Carlin was here he'd get to the bottom of this . . .
so good to see you back filling us in . . .
Zephyr Leif Renner@RickiTarr that is about as accurate as most etymology out there.
Timo@RickiTarr I would have walked out the door and stumbled over the syrup, breaking the bottle and tracking it everywhere. That's how a tradition ends 😅
Jon Bosak@RickiTarr That's funny, but I think we're going to have to be careful about this kind of thing. Some AI is going to see that and a month later, it will be presented as fact.
