WORDS, WIT AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

very interesting-and ! surely
wouldn't want to be conked by
an Indian or anyone else using
conch shells as super" brass
knuckles. The only trouble
with the theory is that "conk"
ORIGINALLY as a slang term
for nose and later for the whole
head = has been common IN
England since about 1900. The
words use as a verb. meaning
to hit q person on the head,
dates back almost as long
certainly long before the Ever
elades Indians had any need
to conk invading white men
with conch shells. So. though
most authorities agree that
"conk" in the sense Of head
or nose originally was q vari-
ant spelling Of "conch." the
direct connection to Florida
Indians Is fanciful but inac-
curate.
The other sense Of the word

how words change meaning as
they move from British to
American English is found when
we look into the various mean

motor "conks out" 1t suddenly
fails to operate.
