Oops, it’s on this old thread.
It’s okay, yes, I did see what you put up. Most encouraging. ThanQ. OI learned a new word, too. :)
PS: Because I love etymology, I had to look it up:
Origins of the term kayfabe
Pro wrestling can trace some of its stylistic origins back to carnivals and Catch Wrestling, where the term “kayfabe” is thought to have originated as carny slang for “protecting the secrets of the business.” The term “kayfabe” itself may ultimately originate from the Pig Latin form of “fake” (”ake-fay”) or the phrase “be fake.”
Kayfabe may also derive from another trick used by traveling carnival workers. With money tight, a carny would call home collect and ask for “Kay Fabian.” This was code letting the people at home know they had made it safely to the next town without paying for the cost of a phone call.
