And I say that having lived in a city that decided to name the public transport South Lake Union Transit. Yep! Ride the SLUT. I’m relatively certain the city planners who approved the project were drunk.

Kill

Has the same etymology as cell. Kill/chill/cill/kell/cell (all pronounced with hard c) meant like a little hut where a monk or holy person lived—later known as a church or chapel.

When Robert Hooke peered through his newly-invented compound microscope he thought the square-shaped air-filled sections on a thin slice of cork bark looked like monk’s cells, and the name stuck. Only plants have regular square-shaped cells, but animal cells weren’t discovered until later.
