Today’s post is not so much about what’s going on with the WRB, but just something interesting. (The document is Ira Hirschmann’s notes on his “Unique Experiences” which he writes sometime around April 1st because he is already preparing to write a book about his time in Turkey.)
One of his “unique experiences” was listening to a man rant about his “frenemies.” Seriously, he uses the word “frenemies.” According to Google Books, there is only 1 book prior to 1944 (a murder-mystery called “The Pink Umbrella” written in 1943) that uses this word. Hirschmann is a trend-setter!
