The Days

I love thinking about things we take for granted (when I remember).  Have you ever thought of the days of the week?

Here they are:

Monday       Moon day

Tuesday       Tyr’s day.  Tyr was the one armed Norse god associated with single combat.

Wednesday  Wodin’s day.  The ruler of the Norse god’s realm.  Also Odin.

Thursday     Thor’s day.  Okay, you got that one.

Friday          Frigga’s day. The wife of Wodin.  Pretty nifty women’s equality.

Saturday      Saturn’s day

Sunday        Sun’s day

Four-flusher

The term “four-flusher” originally meant a card cheat on a river boat who would claim a poker pot by showing four cards of a suit, with a fifth card of another suit hidden behind the other four.
