Earlier this week I posted a photo of a Sundog click here to see it and @sultnpapper, one of the wonderful people I have met on Steemit, replied saying,
"What in Sam Hill is a Sundog".
I giggled, then googled to figure out what "Sam Hill" meant and I thought I'd share my delightful findings.
A possible origin for the phrase "Sam Hill" is the surveyor Samuel W. Hill (1819–1889). Hill allegedly used such foul language that his name became a euphemism for swear words.
Seriously??!
Is it just me...or is this quite possibly the most bad-ass thing you could ever be remembered for?! HAHAHA!!! I wish I could meet Sam Hill and go for a pint!
thanks for reading!
Curious about what a "Sundog" is now too?
