"Langer" derived from Irish servicemen serving in India around the turn of of the last century, a derivative of "Langur" a cheeky monkey that like to steal things.

Are you a biker too? Lol.
Possibly my favourite pursuit and subject for conversation (I'm fun at parties). My decision to post about it was inspired by a podcast in which the term 'gaslighting' was used frequently. I know its origin, but perhaps you don't. It's a reference to two films, Gas Light (1938) and its American remake (1944) in which a man tries to convince his wife that she cannot trust her own memory by isolating her and staging scenarios in which she is forced to doubt herself.
So now you know if you didn't already.
Do you have any words with interesting origins you might like to share? Please do!

Don't think that's true. It's to do with the Cat O' Nine Tails.
I think it comes from lán her.
The English for that is "Ian her"?
