And, now I know, ...I've never heard sockdology. And, now I know, neither has my spell check. And I always thought "sock it to me" was a completely 1960's invention. I agree with Anne, love my cozy socks more and more as I get older and colder. At least we can get some real cute ones these days. Not your grandma's socks!

I wonder what the preeminent etymologists would have to say about your sock abuse theory.CS Perryesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011651595792156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-74417727412929414592013-02-22T00:54:47.487-08:002013-02-22T00:54:47.487-08:00Heard all but sockdology, interesting the confluen...Heard all but sockdology, interesting the confluence of the word and the shot in Ford's Theater...<br /><br />I'm wondering, given the medieval penchant for not bathing regularly, if it wasn't easier and faster to deck someone by whacking them with your (used) sock... I'm sure one whiff would put even a giant on the ground pretty fast. That makes "socking it to someone" rather understandable, don't you think? And easier on the knuckles, too.Susan Tuttlehttp://www.susantuttlewrites.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-8017512534725146212013-02-21T20:32:59.618-08:002013-02-21T20:32:59.618-08:00Greetings Anne,

Welcome back to the World of the Vertical, & yes, you the "sock it away" was originally a literal explanation of saving $. I guess the phrase "undermattressing one's money" never caught on.CS Perryesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011651595792156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-31032472908195665962013-02-21T19:40:26.690-08:002013-02-21T19:40:26.690-08:00I bought my own birthday present this year.

When I was a kid, getting socks was not an occasion of excitement, but now I'm old...I'm much more easily pleased. Or more tenderly inclined toward my feet, anyway. <br /><br />Love the explanation of "put a sock in it." Totally believable. Also "socking it away". I'm sure that was once literal. Anne R.
