A "police code of honor" refers to the ethical standards and principles that govern a police officer's conduct, encompassing a commitment to honesty, integrity, respect for the law and the public, and accountability for their actions.

September 15,2025#The "bird of wisdom" in Norse mythology refers to the pair of ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who served as trusted companions to the god Odin. These ravens flew daily over the nine worlds to gather knowledge and information, returning to Odin to whisper what they had seen. Huginn symbolizes thought, and Muninn represents memory. Messengers of Knowledge:Odin relied on Huginn and Muninn to gather intelligence from all corners of the Norse realms, making them invaluable sources of information for the Allfather. Symbols of Wisdom and Vision:Ravens, through their association with Odin, became potent symbols of wisdom, knowledge, and Odin's all-seeing nature. Guardians of Truth:Their continuous flight and reporting embodied the importance of thought and memory in the pursuit of truth and understanding. Connection to the Spiritual World:Beyond their practical role, the ravens were seen as messengers bridging the worlds of the living and the dead, reinforcing their deep connection to the spiritual. In essence, Huginn and Muninn were more than mere birds; they were integral to Odin's quest for wisdom, symbolizing the power of perception and the enduring pursuit of knowledge across the Norse cosmos. In various mythologies, the crow holds complex symbolic meaning, often appearing as a divine messenger or a guide, but also as a harbinger of death, a trickster, or a symbol of darkness and wisdom. Crows are known to represent the duality of life and death, acting as an intermediary between the mortal and spiritual realms in cultures ranging from ancient Greece (Apollo's messengers) to Norse mythology (Odin's companions, Huginn and Muninn). Apollo's Messengers: In Greek lore, crows serve as messengers for the sun god Apollo.The Original White Crow: The myth of the betrayal of Apollo's lover, Coronis, explains the crow's black plumage. Apollo sent a white crow to watch Coronis, and when it returned with news of her infidelity, Apollo cursed it, turning its feathers black in a fit of fury.Spirit Guides: Many Native American tribes view crows as wise, mystical beings that communicate with the spirit world and guide the souls of the dead.The Three-Legged Crow: In Japan, the three-legged crow, known as Yatagarasu, is a divine envoy and a symbol of the sun, appearing on imperial garments and guiding the people.Celtic Goddesses:The goddess The Morrigan in Celtic myths often takes the form of a crow or is accompanied by a flock of them, signifying impending battles and doom. Chinese Mythology:The three-legged crow (sanzuwu) represents the sun in Chinese culture and is depicted in myths, appearing on the robes of emperors. Omens of Death and Wisdom:Their association with darkness, mystery, and carrion can make them symbols of death, while their intelligence and ability to communicate also link them to wisdom and foresight. Messengers of the Gods:Across cultures, crows are seen as divine messengers, capable of passing between the mortal and spiritual worlds. Trickster figures:Some traditions portray crows as mischievous tricksters, similar to coyotes in Native American folklore, due to their intelligence and problem-solving skills.

September 14,2025#An ancient knight was a medieval, heavily armored mounted soldier who held privileged military status after training as a page and squire, initially serving their lord in exchange for land in a system called feudalism. While heavily armed on horseback, knights were also expected to adhere to the code of chivalry, which emphasized honorable behavior, courage, and the protection of the weak. The term "knight" itself derives from Old English and Ancient traditions and more words meaning "boy" or "servant," reflecting their initial role as military followers and vassals to powerful lords or kings.While groups of mounted soldiers existed in antiquity, the distinct figure of the medieval knight began to emerge in Europe around 800 AD. The rise of knights was linked to the feudal system, where kings granted land (fiefs) to powerful fighting men and women in return for military service, establishing a chain of vassalage and loyalty. Knights were elite cavalrymen, and Warrior women using large and expensive warhorses to transform warfare. This was a complex moral code that dictated knights' behavior, including courage, loyalty, mercy, and the protection of the poor and innocent. The image of the knight has been perpetuated in literature and romanticism, especially through tales of King Arthur and the Age of Chivalry, contributing to the enduring idea of the chivalrous hero.

September 14,2025#Medieval talk phrases include greetings like "Good morrow" (good morning) and "How now?" (how are you?), requests like "Prithee" (please), and farewells like "Grammercy" (thank you) and "Fare-thee-well". Other phrases from the period include common sayings such as "don't kill the messenger" and "by hook or by crook," which mean to be prepared to deliver bad news, or to take any means necessary to get something done, respectively. Good morrow: A greeting for the morning.Good day: A general greeting.Hail: A greeting or shout of approval.How now?: Used to ask someone how they are doing.Prithee / Pray: Used to ask for something, similar to "please". Grammercy: Used to say "thank you". Pray, proceed: A polite way to ask someone to continue speaking or to lead the way. Fare-thee-well: A way to say "goodbye".Anon: Used to say "see you later" or "shortly".By hook or by crook: To achieve something by any means possible. Don't kill the messenger: A phrase used to discourage someone from taking their anger out on the bearer of bad news. Dye in the wool: Refers to someone deeply ingrained with a particular characteristic or belief. Buckled down to work: To focus on a task or job. By hook or by crook. This phrase originated in the 14th century, referring to the right of common people to forage for firewood in a forest with a hook by a crook.

September 14,2025# These twenty phrases remind us how deeply the Middle Ages shaped the language we use every day. From Chaucer’s poetry to medieval law codes, from allegorical horses to Norman Ireland, the origins of these expressions reveal a world where words carried both practical and symbolic weight. Far from being relics of the past, they continue to live on in modern English, proving that medieval thought and culture still echo in our daily conversations.number 20.x2. Baker’s dozenThis phrase arose from a piece of medieval legislation, the Assize of Bread and Ale of 1262. Bakers of the period had a reputation for selling underweight loaves, so legislation was put in place to make standardized weights. To make sure that they did not sell underweight bread, bakers started to give an extra piece of bread away with every loaf, and a thirteenth loaf with every dozen.3. To curry favourThe phrase came from the Middle English words curry favel, which in Old French was estriller fauvel. It meant “to rub down or groom a chestnut horse.” In Le Roman de Fauvel, a 14th-century French romance, a chestnut horse representing hypocrisy and deceit is carefully combed down by other characters in order to win his favour and assistance. The popularity of the work led people to accuse those who tried to further their own ends by flattery to be currying favel. By the sixteenth century the phrase had changed slightly to currying favour.4. To play devil’s advocateDevil’s advocate is a translation of the Latin advocatus diaboli. This was the popular title given to the official appointed by the Roman Catholic church to argue against the proposed canonization of a saint by bringing up all that was unfavourable to the claim. The post, which was officially known as Promoter of the Faith (promotor fidei), seems to have been established by Pope Leo X in the early sixteenth century.5. To throw down the gauntletThe gauntlet was a piece of armour that knights wore to protect their forearms and hands. A gauntlet-wearing knight would challenge a fellow knight or enemy to a duel by throwing one of his gauntlets on the ground.6. By hook or by crookRecords of this phrase date back to the 14th century. One theory for its origin suggests that a medieval law about collecting firewood allowed peasants to take what they could only cut from dead trees by using their reaper’s bill-hook or a shepherd’s crook.7. Hue and cryThis phrase dates back to 12th-century England. Hue comes from the Old French huer, which means “to shout out.” In the Middle Ages, if you saw a crime being committed, you were obliged to raise “hue” and “cry,” that is to shout and make noise, to warn the rest of the community, so they could come to pursue and capture the criminal.8. A nest eggBy the fourteenth century the phrase nest egg was used by peasants to explain why they left one egg in the nest when collecting them from hens – it would encourage the chickens to continue laying eggs in the same nest. By the seventeenth century this phrase now meant to set aside a sum of money for the future.9. A red-letter dayDuring the fifteenth century it became customary to mark all feast days and saints’ days in red on the ecclesiastical calendar, while other days were in black.10. To sink or swimThe phrase refers to the water ordeal, a medieval practice of judging whether a person was innocent or guilty by casting him or her into a lake. The belief was that water would not accept anyone who had rejected the water of baptism, so if the victim sank they were innocent, but if they floated they were guilty. Chaucer used a similar phrase: “Ye rekke not whether I flete (float) or sink.”11. No Man’s LandMany might think this phrase dates back to the First World War, but its origins are actually from the 11th century. In the Domesday Book there is a place in England that is referred to as “Nomansland.” Perhaps it was an abandoned settlement. Then the phrase can be seen again in the 14th century – it was used by Londoners to refer to a spot just north of the city walls where executions were held.12. All that glitters is not goldThis phrase, meaning that appearances can be deceiving, has a rich history. Its earliest known usage comes from the 12th century, when French theologian Alain de Lille wrote, “Do not hold everything gold that shines like gold.” Geoffrey Chaucer later echoed the sentiment in his 14th-century work The House of Fame, with the line “Hyt is not al golde that glareth.”13. Stark raving madThis expression, used to describe someone who is completely and uncontrollably insane, has its roots in medieval England. The word “stark” comes from an Old English word meaning stiff or strong, and was commonly used in the Middle Ages to intensify descriptions. The term “stark mad” emerges by the 14th century. Meanwhile, the word “raving” originates from the Latin rabidus, meaning “to be mad” or “to rave.” It was also used as an adjective to emphasise a noun, so it would eventually become incorporated into the phrase.14. More Irish than the Irish themselvesThis expression dates back to medieval Ireland and was used to describe Norman settlers who embraced Irish customs, language, and traditions more enthusiastically than the native Irish. These Normans, who arrived in Ireland in the 12th century, integrated so deeply into Irish life that it worried the English authorities, prompting laws like the Statutes of Kilkenny in 1366 to try to maintain English identity. It’s a phrase that highlights how invaders can sometimes adopt the culture they encounter so thoroughly that they outdo the locals themselves.15. Blood is thicker than waterThe phrase is often interpreted to mean that family bonds are stronger than other relationships, but its origins suggest a different meaning. A 13th-century story includes the line: “ouch höer ich sagen, daz sippe bluot von wazzer niht verdirbet,” which translates to, “I also hear it said that kin-blood is not spoiled by water.” It has been suggested that this implies family ties are more important than religious affiliations, with “water” symbolising baptism.16. Let sleeping dogs lieThis phrase, meaning to avoid stirring up trouble or interfering in a situation that is calm, has roots in medieval England. It appears in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde, where he writes, “It is nought good a sleping hound to wake.” There is even an earlier French version of this expression, which translates as “wake not the sleeping dog.”17. Bed of rosesOne of the most popular pieces of medieval literature is Le Roman de la Rose. In one section, a character recounts a dream of touring a garden and finding a beautiful bed of roses by the Fountain of Love. The phrase, which later came to represent an easy or pleasant life, owes much to the rich imagery and associations with love and desire found in this iconic text.18. Tom, Dick and HarryThis phrase is used to describe ordinary or generic people, often implying “anyone and everyone.” Its origin dates back to medieval Italy, where the term in Latin originally was Titius et Gaius et Sempronius. This phrase would get changed in other languages too, becoming in Italian “Tizio, Caio e Sempronio” and in French “Pierre, Paul ou Jacques.”19. One bad apple spoils the whole barrelThis phrase, meaning that one negative influence can ruin the whole, originates from the literal observation that one rotten apple can spoil others in a container. Geoffrey Chaucer hinted at this idea in his Canterbury Tales, particularly in The Cook’s Tale, where he wrote about how bad companions can corrupt good ones. Here is how he writes it:Uppon a proverbe that seith this same worde:“Better ys rotten appulle out of an hurdeThan for to let hem rote alle the remenaunte.”And ryght so it fareth by a ryotes servaunte.20. In my mind’s eyeThe phrase, meaning to envision something in one’s imagination, goes back to the late 12th century when Joachim of Flora wrote in Expositio in Apocalipsim (Exposition of the Book of Revelation) this line: “I suddenly perceived in my mind’s eye something of the fullness of this book and of the entire harmony of the Old and New Testaments.”Chaucer also made use of the phrase. In The Man of Law’s Tale, he writes: “It were with thilke eyen of his mynde, With whiche men seen, after that they been blynde.”
