He then went out and hired a group of street urchins to write the word ____, which was a nonsense word, on walls around the city of Dublin. Within a day, the word was common currency and had acquired a meaning (since no one knew what it meant, everyone thought it was some sort of test) and Daly had some extra cash in his pocket.

14.India's batsmen played their own game. Though Tendulkar fell just after he had tantalised the tastebuds with a cover drive, Ganguly, playing in his 100th one-day international but first World Cup match, hit form to add a well-crafted 130 with Dravid. They failed to capitalise fully, however, and were out in quick succession, Ganguly foolishly taking on Rhodes's arm. Donald bowled particularly well. Srinath, aggressive in turn, dismissed Kirsten and Gibbs early, but Kallis calmly powered onwards. When he was beaten by a sharp throw from Prasad - like Ganguly, just short of his hundred - South Africa needed 27 in 26 balls. Enter Klusener, who hit his first three deliveries for four. A wonderful match was marred only by a pitch invader who tried to attack Azharuddin and Dravid as they walked off.

However earlier, a festive atmosphere and a cracking finish were overshadowed, by Cronje's X. Allan Donald was also involved in this, both doing it on Bob Woolmer’s advice. The referee, Talat Ali, was not impressed and reprimanded them at the first drinks break.

The idea of X is very simple, and it is probable that it has been invented and reinvented numerous times. The word X dates to 1784, and may have derived by combining the words tongue and slap. The first references to X in its modern context date to the 1920s. Alternatively it may be a word of Roman origin being related to the Roman tradition of selling red apples.

Modern X is said to have been invented in 1908 by an American named George Smith of New Haven, Connecticut.

27.The word appears several times in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (c. 1390), in bawdy contexts, but it does not appear to be considered obscene at this point, since it is used openly. A notable use is from the "Miller's Tale": "Pryvely he caught her by the queynte." The Wife of Bath also uses this term, "For certeyn, olde dotard, by your leave/You shall have queynte right enough at eve ...

In modernized versions of these passages the word "queynte" is usually translated simply as X However, in Chaucer's usage there seems to be an overlap between the words X and "quaint" (possibly derived from the Latin for "known"). "Quaint" was probably pronounced in Middle English in much the same way as X. It is sometimes unclear whether the two words were thought of as distinct from one another. Elsewhere in Chaucer's work the word queynte seems to be used with meaning comparable to the modern "quaint" (charming, appealing).

For Y, he needed a serene, benevolent face to depict Z. He finally chose a nineteen year old boy as a model for Z. He chose models for all other characters except W, and completed Y leaving space to paint W.For years, X searched for a man with a hard callous face, with a countenance marked by scars of avarice, deceit, hypocrisy, and crime; a face that would delineate a character who would even betray his best friend.Finally finding one such person in a prison, he chose him, painted W and completed Y. As the man was being taken away, he asked X if he recognized him, to which X said that that was the first time he had laid his eyes on him. At this point, the man said, “Look closer, years ago, you used my face to paint Z!”Phew…… X, Y, Z and W please! (Sorry, no part points).

X is an informal value transfer system based on the performance and honor of a huge network of money brokers, which are primarily located in the Middle East, North and Northeast Africa, and South Asia.

X has its origins in classical Islamic law, and is mentioned in texts of Islamic jurisprudence as early as the 8th century. It itself later influenced the development of the agency in common law and in civil laws such as the aval in French law and the avallo in Italian law. The words aval and avallo were themselves derived from X

The transfer of debt, which was "not permissible under Roman law but became widely practiced in medieval Europe, especially in commercial transactions", was due to the large extent of the "trade conducted by the Italian cities with the Muslim world in the Middle Ages.

50.The character was designed by animator Bob Clampett

and introduced in the short I Haven't Got a Hat(first released on March 2, 1935), directed by Friz Freleng. Studio head Leon Schlesinger suggested that Freleng do a cartoon version of the popular Our Gang films. X only has a minor role in the film, but the fat little creation quickly became popular & became the first character created by the studio to draw audiences based on his star power.

That’s all folks. Thank You!
