Today is National No
Rhyme (Nor Reason) Day.
The phrase
itself is a popular one, which means “the cause or pattern that something has happened.
To a certain extent, it is an idiom, which means it should not be taken
literally, because it will not actually rhyme. Most often someone says that
there is no rhyme or reason, so this would mean that an action appears to be
senseless, random or not understandable.” The origins
of the phrase are thought to have been
around 1475 in France. The English translation of the term surfaced nearly 100
years later. It was Sir Thomas More that was first recorded as uttering this
phrase.
Well, that’s about all I can tell you about the
origins of this term. Why not take a moment to vote on the Daily Poll. Click here
