I always assumed it was derived from the word Bruin, for "bear".


When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

Who can guess how much I'd had to drink when I posted this thread then?
