“WOD” originally meant “workout of the day.
But many in CrossFit are now saying “WOD of the day.”
…which will eventually be abbreviated to just “WOD” (i.e., ‘W’ for “WOD,” ‘O’ for “of,” and ‘D’ for “day”).
And that, in turn, makes one wonder:
If, at that point, “WOD” actually means “WOD of the day” (rather than “workout of the day”), then maybe this has happened before!
And so maybe WOD even now already means “WOD of the day.”
And mayyybe this has happened hundreds of times over the last two decades!
And so, actually, even now, “WOD of the day” means something like…
“‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘Workout of the day’ of the day’ of the day’ of the day’ of the day’ of the day’ of the day’ of the day’ …”
I once heard a story about Torpenhow Hill, somewhere in England. With the Welsh Saxons, and Norse, in which order I don't remember, establishing successive territorial dominance over an area including this hill, it became "How Hill," and then "Penhow Hill" and then "Torpenhow Hill," which by now means Hill Hill Hill Hill.
Someone please correct my inaccuracies in this re-telling.
Kind of like the way a duvet became a duvet cover, which is cover cover.
