why do they call it a 'man'icure when it's more often women that have them done???
shouldn't it in today's lingo - be a 'person'cure ? well - guess that doesn't make much sense either...
clearly - there's NO CURE for being a person....
.
so how about 'digi'cure for the whole darn lot, and call it a day??
then you can get an upper-digicure, or a lower-digicure... isn't that easier?
...
for the etymologists out there (or those just insanely curious):
just as 'pedi' refers to 'foot'.... 'mani' refers to hand and has no real origin relating to gender...
what's more curious tho - is that 'cure' comes from cura - meaning care.
those 3 words are actually from latin- but the word 'manicure' is french....
so more literally - handcare and footcare - which is still messed up because the related procedure is only concerned with the phalanxes and specifically only the nails !!!!
.
this is one seriously messed up world we live in - wonder we can communicate at all!!!!
Awe! You have a very good point there about why things are called what they are. I never real thought about it before until just now when you brought it up. Thank you the great information.
