DUMB QUESTION: why are g-strings called g-strings?
- Thread starter gopunk
- Start date
The "G-string" was a term invented by Herodotus, in his famous work The Histories. Greek soldiers were known to fight naked except for their shields and armour. However, the G-string, or "Greek String", was worn in particularly cold weather to save embarrassment. Strangely, there is no "G" in the Greek alphabet.
why are g-strings called g-strings?
When one plucks or draws a bow over the string, the sound made is of the note "G", thus the name is a G- string.
Cheers !

>>Did Linuxboy just make a joke? And there are no words in his post that I have to use a dictionary on. Wow!
<< why is homosexual and happy the same word? >>
They don't mean the same thing.
Gay = Happy or Homosexual.
Gay does not automatically mean homosexual.
And here I always thought it was because when you saw a hottie in one you would go
"Gee, LOOK AT THAT!!"
"Gee, LOOK AT THAT!!"
From the The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000:
ETYMOLOGY: Origin unknown.
I guess Strings A through F just didn't cut it, but they got something right when they hit String-G.

What really scares me about this thread is that i don't know which of you really know, or which of you are just messing.
