<ADDADICKTOME

The first time I heard Rush say this (re some benefits for San Fran workers), I had a terrible problem with the word. ‘omy’ ought to mean something taken away, but yet, the word started with ‘adda.’ (ok, probably not a proper Latin prefix, but things change through time and I was willing to go with the flow...) How could you have a word with both etymologies?

Let me just say that many, many years of school did not help me realize what he meant until Rush talked about it on a couple of shows. When I did realize it, I had to admit that 1) apparently the book learning is getting in the way of a sense of humor and 2) I was kind of surprised that Rush said it, though I do think that Rush has gotten a bit more ‘adult’ in the past few years.
