Quiz
The real origin is unknown, but legend has it that in 1791, Dublin theater
owner James Daly made a bet that he could introduce a new word to the
language within twenty-four hours. He then went out and hired a bunch
of street urchins to write a nonsense word "quiz" throughout
the city of Dublin on walls. In about a day, the word was commonly spoken
but nobody knew what it meant. Everybody thought it was just a test.
