    World's Greatest Miser.

    Hetty Green was a very rich woman - actually, she was once the richest woman in the world, probably because she didn't spend any money. And I mean any:

    Green was mainly interested in business, and there are many tales (of various degrees of accuracy) about her stinginess. She never turned on the heat nor used hot water. She wore one old black dress and undergarments that she changed only after they had been worn out. She did not wash her hands and rode an old carriage. She ate mostly pies that cost fifteen cents. One tale claims that she spent a night looking for a lost stamp worth two cents. Hettie's son Ned broke his leg and had to have it amputated because Hettie delayed treatment while insisting on finding free medical care!

    A "dork" is a whale's penis.

    A "see you en tee" <--can't spell it out on here --> originally meant "princess" in ancient Egypt.

    "Nerd" came from Dr. Suess' book, "If I Ran the Zoo", as one of the imaginary creatures the main character wanted to collect.

    As for the "f" word...its origins are not entirely sure, but it came from old English and was used for some time before it caused offense.

    It's strange how certain words get bad reputations!
