Replying to Avatar Guy Swann

TIL that the very word "guy" may have first entered the lexicon as a common word following Guy Fawkes' famous attempt at blowing up parliament and assassinating King James I.

It was a name, that became a celebratory term on November 5th, to a common word for young males, to a more generic term for any people or individuals.

Went down this rabbit hole due to a completely random DM from nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 who was curious if i knew... Now i know 🤣
