[The Electrician]

I once did some quick research on the question of the proper usage of "bold-faced" vs. "bald-faced" (because I was wondering whether it was more correct to say "Bill Clinton is a bold-faced liar" or "Bill Clinton is a bald-faced liar"). My conclusion was that the most correct statement would have been "Bill Clinton is a despicable, lying, treasonous rapist". Oh, but I digress. My other conclusion was that the term "bold-faced" has been in the language for a long time. The word "barefaced" has also been in the language for a long time. And, it appears that the term "bald-faced" may have been derived more recently as a combination of the two (but meaning essentially the same thing), but indeed it has entered the language, and so all of them are valid.

I suppose that's how language melts into the blob.
