WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM NORRIS

In writing a few days ago
about the lively discussion start
ed by Wilfred Funk's disrespect-
full remarks about grammar,
referred to the controversy as a
"brouhaha." In due course, one
Of the conscientious copy editors
who review this material before
it appears in print sent back the
column with the word circled in
red, together with the cryptic
notation mot in Web. pl. expl."
which. translated. means Not
in Webster. please explain"
1t was a good question. since
a quick check OF other leading
dictionaries shows that "brou-
haha" is not in them. either.
despite the fact that it is enjoy
ing quite a vogue in the public
prints at the moment. The word
means. of course, a fuss. dither.
TODD. commotion or lively argu-
ment.
But where did it come from?
Well. unlikely as it may seem,
this term is taken direct from
French. where. in the words of
the famed Petit Larousse. it
means the noise OF confused
and tumultuous voices" Thus
it originally meant the sound
caused by excited disputants-
and what livelier or more "tu-
multuous" noise can there be
than the chatter of an argu-
ment between. let's say. two
Partisan cab drivers?
In making the sea change to
American English. "brouhaha"
has lost some of the quality it
had in French, with the result
that now it means simply any
sort of spirited dispute.
"A local broadcaster greets his
listeners with "A very pleasant
how do you do, friends Will
YOU comment on this? Is it COR
rect?" asks William Kuhns OF
Oakland. Calf.
The phrase How do you do"
is used here as a completely
conventionalized form of salu-
tation-synonymous with greet
ing" I should say that the
broadcaSter was entirely correct
in using this form Of introduc-
ton to his program.
Perhaps what is troubling Mr.
Kuhns is the fact that How do
you do" also maybe used COL
loquially TO mean an awkward
situation or predicament. The
most famous instance of its
use in this sense is probably
Koko's lament in THE Mikado":
Here's a pretty state OF things
Here's a pretty how-de- dol"

Mr.. New goes beyond that. AS
each new convention comes out
he devises a complete new system
around it. thus giving it even
more Importance than its origi-
majors had in mind.
One bidding sequence that
fascinates Mr.. New is the reverse.
Someone applied that word to
the sequence where a player
opens with one of a suit and later
bids higher-ranking suit at the
two level, thus forcing his part
ner to go to the three range to
make a simple preference for the
first suit.
You need very good hand to
bid in this manner. This is not
because you are reversing" but
simply because you need more 10
make nine tricks than you do to
make eight tricks.
In todays deal Mr.. Champion
was entitled to believe that Mr..
New had at least five hearts and
four spades and a big hand. His
Jump to four hearts was justified.
OF course Mr.. Dale was de-
lighted with the four-heart con-
tract. He did not double because
he correctly figured his opponents
must have some better spot to
play the hand and he did not
want to drive them into it.
The hand blew up in Mr.. News
face when the partnership proved
to have only seven trumps, with
the balance badly punched in Mr..
Dale's hand. This was an
especially sad result in view of
the fact that four no-trump was
ice-cold against any defense.
Why did you open the bidding
with a hearth" Mr.. Champion de-
manded angrily.
Because" replied Mr.. New. 81
wanted to reverse to show you
q big hand"
Mr.. Champion snorted in dis
gust. you don't have to bid
your suits in the wrong order to
tell me that" he barked. That's
the trouble with you guys. You
think the best bidding is the
most complicated bidding.
In my opinion the right bid
ding on the hand is one no-trump
by you and three no-trump by
me-"
/ agree with Mr. Champion.
