n172 Old Judge Pretzels "Getzien/Cetzein" Joke Card

[novakjr]

Not to start anything. But greachery, is listed as a common misspelling for Treachery. Completely understandable, considering that the G is right below the T on a keyboard.. Co-incidentally, the definitions of Creachery(contextually based on how it was most often used) and Treachey are very similar in nature..

David,

The term creach later became used to describe plundering (probably derived from falling, ie, "fall from grace".)

I hadn't realized that Creachery was a word... very interesting. That means it would have been pronounced "McCreh" and not "McCree" since we know the pronunciation of "treachery".

That might make the McCrea/Chery riddle more likely in a way, seeing that the pronunciation is the same, and not pronounced "McCree".

Well, here you are getting me going again. Let's see if we can find out if it was a C or G before we go any further... too much left to question right now unless we really know the name.

Cheers
