• The story goes that a Dublin theatre proprietor by the name of

Richard Daly made a bet that he could, within forty-eight hours, make

a nonsense word known throughout the city, and that the public

would supply a meaning for it. After a performance one evening, he

gave his staff cards with the word ‘____' written on them, and told

them to write the word on walls around the city. The next day the

strange word was the talk of the town, and within a short time it had

become part of the language.

• This emerged in the mid-19th century and gave rise to the most

common use of the term today, for a type of entertainment based on

a test of a person's knowledge.

love (of the game)' (i.e. to play for nothing).

• Another theory that is often heard is that it represents the

French word l'oeuf, meaning 'an egg' (from the resemblance

between an egg and a naught) this seems unlikely.

• An explanation is that the term originated as an abbreviation of orl

korrekt , a jokey misspelling of 'all correct' which was current in the US

in the 1830s.

• The oldest written references result from its use as a slogan by the

Democratic party during the American Presidential election of 1840.

kinderhook' (after his birthplace in New York State), and his supporters

formed the ‘___ ___ Club'.
