or tis the season
[ tiz thuh see - z uh n ]
’Tis the season is a phrase from the Christmas song “Deck the Halls” often used to indicate it’s a particular time of year.
“Deck the Halls,” or, as it was originally known, “Deck the Hall,” is a Christmas carol with English lyrics written by Thomas Oliphant in 1862. The original song was a Welsh New Year’s carol called Nos Galan , with a tune that may date back to the 1500s. The English lyrics contain the line “’tis the season to be jolly,” and it’s from this that the phrase originates.
’ Tis has fallen out of use in modern times for the most part, but it’s a contraction of it is (much like it’s ) that was in use from at least the 1400s.
Before “Deck the Halls,” there are examples of writers in the 1800s using ’Tis the season on its own both in relation to Christmas and to other seasons. For instance, an 1839 New Year’s ode published in the Gentleman’s Magazine opened: “Hurrah! hurrah! ‘Tis the season of mirth , / The time of goodwill and peace on earth.”
’Tis the season proliferated as a festive reference to Christmas and to the carol, and it began to reemerge in popular culture starting in the 1960s. As it has become more common, it’s evolved beyond the strict association with Christmas. ’Tis the season can now be applied to any season or time of year, from “‘Tis the season for spring cleaning” to “‘Tis the season for pumpkin spice lattes.”

Trick or Treat is the quintessential Halloween greeting …
The custom is believed to have been borrowed from England, Scotland, and Ireland.
They practiced guising or mumming …
… which means performing a song, card trick, or story for a treat.
The routine took hold in the US in the ‘30s,
Some adults were angered by the entitlement of asking for treats.
Rumor has it that in a 1947 Halloween parade,
the Madison Square Boys Club held a banner that read: “American Boys Don’t Beg.”
and we’ve been trick or treating excitedly since the 1950s!
I don’t know about you, but at this point in my life, I feel like I should more confidently know the difference between i.e. and e.g. I think it’s mostly because the abbreviations don’t actually help me remember which is which, and for too long I haven’t been able to keep them straight. But you know what, that’s changing TODAY.
I.e. and e.g. are both Latin abbreviations. E.g. stands for exempli gratia and means “for example,” so it would be a literal example of the thing being explained. I.e. is the abbreviation for id est and means “in other words.”
So by remembering the first letter for each abbreviation, I could start keeping them straight. The i in i.e. represents “in other words” and the e in e.g. represents “example.”
The relationship didn’t work out (i.e., they dumped me)
The food was OK (i.e., I ate it because I was hungry, but the entire time wished it was better)
That wasn’t funny (i.e., that was crazy offensive … but I don’t want to start an argument right now).
I’m totally getting the hang of this.
I’m so tired (e.g., I fell asleep at my desk this morning)
She’s really sweet (e.g., she brought me a cupcake for my birthday)
He was nice (e.g., he takes care of his nephew after work)
I love being corny (e.g., Happy Hump Day coworkers!)
I’m so good at this (i.e., why did I wait this long to master something this easy).
I always thought that morals and ethics were one in the same, they had to do with being a good person, and that’s it. I’ve interchangeably used them and have never really needed to know the difference. What’s interesting though, is that I recently found myself in a situation where I was conflicted about right and wrong … and that was because my morals were at odds with my ethics.
Buckle up this is Morals vs. Ethics 101.
The word morals is a noun and it’s actually from the Greek word mos meaning “custom.” These are the ideas we believe about right and wrong . This could look like: honesty, compassion, and understanding … concepts and customs we have to help us be good people, but we don’t have to do them.
Ethics comes from the Greek word ethikos meaning “character.” Ethics describes behavior that is right or wrong. So, depending on the rules and situation, our ethics determine our actions. This could look like: an eye for an eye, following the guidelines of a contract, your parents rules, or government laws … these are the actions you do to not get in trouble.
For example, when I joined the ARMY I was conflicted because I morally believe that killing is wrong. But, the ARMY’s ethical code includes military strategy about taking lives for the sake of the mission. This conflict showed me that morals don’t have to be ethical and ethics don’t have to be moral, and THAT IS COMPLICATED.
These lyrics may not make a lot of sense, but there’s one, big grammatical error within them. Can you spot it?
(singing) Every little thing she does is magic. (singing) Everything she do just turns me on. (singing) Even though my life before was tragic …
How does it go from “everything she does” to “everything she do”?
”Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” has one of those great, explosive choruses that makes it impossible not to sing along. But, it’s hard not to cringe, as you arrive at the lyric, “Everything she do just turns me on.” In that sentence, the verb do should be does.
(singing) I want your love and I want your revenge. (singing) You and me could write a bad romance.
“You and I” maybe? Yeah … “you and I.”
But I’ve never understood why though.
I … you have to … I think you have to take out the, the first if it’s, like, a combination with and , you have to take out the first one and if the second part makes sense, like, “me could write a bad romance,” it would have to be I . “I could …” you know, it should stand alone.
In the case of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance,” Lady Gaga sings, “You and me could write a bad romance,” when it should be “you and I .”
(singing) If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, (singing) who you gonna call? (singing) Ghostbusters!
“Who are you gonna call”? “Who are you gonna call,” maybe?
In the timeless “ Ghostbusters Theme Song,” Ray Parker Jr. asks over and over again, “Who you gonna call?” The answer, of course, is the Ghostbusters which are a group of people. Since the Ghostbusters are a group, they’d be described using the pronoun them. And that means their theme song should technically ask, “ Whom are you going to call?”
(singing) T to the A to the S-T-E-Y, girl, you tasty. (singing) T to the A to the S-T-E-Y, girl, you tasty.
I don’t know … I like that song. (laughing)
– I just sing it. I don’t think about it.
– I did too, like, fifteen years ago … uh …
And on that note, in the early 2000s, Fergie’s hit song, “Fergalicious,” taught the world how to spell delicious and tasty . There’s only one small problem with the impromptu spelling lesson, the song spelled tasty incorrectly. The lyrics include rapper will.i.am chanting, “T to the A to the S-T-E-Y, girl, you’re tasty.” In reality, tasty is spelled sans E.
When we asked this woman the difference between lay and lie … she couldn’t answer right away. Maybe her nerdy steps to learn how to use these words will help you learn the difference between lay and lie too?
I never really understood the difference between lay and lie . This is super embarrassing. Like is it lay in bed? Lie in bed? Is it lay your phone down? Lie your phone down? But … now that I’m a mom I figured I probably should know the difference between the two.
So you say lie , when it’s something you do yourself. You say lay , when it involves an object.
Can you lay your water down please?
Hazel, mommy is just gonna lie down on the couch just for a little bit to close her eyes. No. Wait. Gotta “mom.” Sorry. I’ll sleep … never.
(Person starts by musing on words like silver, angel, orange.) (Tries to come up with some rhymes for them.)
It’s the age old question … at least the age-old word game question: Are there any words without rhymes?
Seemingly, a lot of words would be hard to rhyme with another word. There’s so many strange English pronunciations it’s hard to find another word that would be pronounced exactly the same.
That’s totally the case when it comes to a word like orange . This word is weird. And nothing rhymes with it right?! Wrong … these super obscure words actually do rhyme: Orange rhymes with Blorenge (a mountain in Wales) and sporange (a technical word for a sac where spores are made) … oh yea, and blorange: re-popularized by the one and only Jonathan Van Ness.
OK, OK, what about silver . Can’t think of a damn thing that rhymes with that … but, come on, we have the dictionary at our fingertips. Silver actually rhymes with Wilver (a nickname) and chilver (a ewe lamb).
I found it, I found the one word without a rhyme: angel.
Angel , which comes from the Greek word, angelos , which meant “messenger of God” truly has new rhyme, phew. I was right.
Similarly, there are a couple of other words without rhymes (remember this the next time you go to Trivia night): Bulb (from the Ancient Greek word for onion, bolbas ) still hasn’t found a word to rhyme with.
Same goes for the word month . Who knew?
Here at Dictionary.com, we like grammar. Surprise, surprise, right? But we also know, grammar is hard. Like really hard.
So, we also like to teach people grammar … in fun ways. YES, grammar can be fun … keep watching … because we’ve asked these 2 people to join our first ever Gigantic, Gratifying, Grammar Gameshow.
You won’t want to miss it, we’re confident … or is it confidante (show spellings on screen to illustrate the difference). See grammar is confusing.
First up, a pretty common grammar faux pax: affect vs. effect.
(show sentence on screen) That polar vortex really had an ____ on the winter weather this year.
(first person guesses affect or effect, then 2nd person guesses).
The answer is: (show :”effect” on screen)
Here’s a basic guideline for affect vs. effect : Generally, we use affect as a verb (an action word) and effect as a noun (an object word).
Next up, do you know when to use a or an ?
(show sentence on screen) I’ll be there in ___ hour, sorry for the delay!
(first person guesses affect or effect, then 2nd person guesses).
The answer is: (show “an” on screen).
Here’s the thing about a and an. We all pretty much know the rule a before consonants and an before vowels. But, that’s not actually the whole rule. It’s more about consonant and vowel sounds, then about the letters themselves.
So, with the word hour . You have a vowel sound … an is used. Easy.
OK, so we’ve arrived at our bonus question … for all the grammar gusto … How many commas belong in this sentence?
(show sentence on screen): Yesterday my friend Tina as well as my friend Lee told me 1000 jokes seriously 1000 jokes in one hour and they were not funny.
(first person guesses affect or effect, then 2nd person guesses).
(show sentence on screen) Yesterday, my friend Tina, as well as my friend Lee, told me 1,000 jokes, seriously 1,000 jokes, in one hour, and they were not funny.
Commas come after introductory clauses, before and after nonrestrictive clauses (like as well as), in numbers of 4 digits and more, before and after interrupters (like seriously), and before independent clauses.
I know 'tis the season to decorate your home for the holidays, but I tried to hang lights last year and my apt looked like Stranger Things season 1.

There are a number of Christmas albums titled ‘ Tis The Season , from such diverse artists as Olivia Newton-John, Jimmy Buffett, Jordan Smith, and Wendy Moten.
Although the word ’tis formally takes an apostrophe, it’s often dropped, so that the phrase is written as T is the season . This is particularly common in informal, online settings, where punctuation tends to disappear anyway.
Tis the season to tape up Christmas boxes for shipping and accidentally stabbing yourself in the palm with a pair of rusty scissors.
— Anne Tibbets (@AnneTibbets) December 3, 2016
A more unusual variation is tis’ , perhaps due to the influence of other contractions, where the apostrophe is liable to be later in the word. The archaic nature of ’tis may help contribute to the variability of spelling, since people are less likely to have seen it written down.
’Tis the season can be used at the front of a statement, as in “’Tis the season to panic about getting Easter presents on time.” It can also simply be used on its own as an interjection to comment on a situation, as in “My eyes have been watery from allergies all day. ’Tis the season.” ‘ Tis the season is also frequently used, and some would say overused, as an advertising and marketing catchphrase .

This is not meant to be a formal definition of ’tis the season like most terms we define on Dictionary.com, but is
rather an informal word summary that hopefully touches upon the key aspects of the meaning and usage of ’tis the season
that will help our users expand their word mastery.
'Chicago Fire' showrunners give Parade.com the scoop on what's happening with Stella Kidd, Kelly Severide, Sylvie Brett, Violet Mikami and more when Season 11 begins!
Chicago Fire wrapped up its 10 th season with a cliffhanger in which Stella Kidd ( Miranda Rae Mayo ) and Kelly Severide’s ( Taylor Kinney ) honeymoon is about to be interrupted by the threatening occupants of a mysterious van that approaches the cabin where they’re honeymooning. The story picks back up there in the first episode in season 11, while Sylvie Brett ( Kara Killmer ) ponders the status of her long-term relationship with Matt Casey ( Jesse Spencer ) following Severide and Kidd’s wedding.
Also, in the first episode back, Violet ( Hanako Greensmith ) has to come to terms with her relationship with Chief Hawkins ( Jimmy Nicholas ), and Chief Boden ( Eamonn Walker ) forces Kidd to accept a former academy classmate—with whom she didn’t have the best relationship—as the newest member of Truck 81.
And Parade.com has all the scoop on the premiere from an exclusive interview with showrunners Derek Haas and Andrea Newman . Check it out:
Do you have a theme or a goal for the season overall? When you came back after Severide and Stella’s wedding did you say, “OK, this is what we need to accomplish next?”
Andrea Newman: We always like to reflect what’s going on out there in the world. It’s been a difficult stretch, so we wanted to do the thing that the show does best, which is lift people up out of that a bit but also address the darker themes out there.
In the [writers] room, our theme was you can’t save everybody and so when times are tough who do you turn to? For us, it’s another family at the firehouse and how do you lift people up out of dark times, so that’s where we’re at theme wise.

When I was watching the finale and Brett says to Casey at the wedding, “How much longer can we keep this up?” That doesn’t bode well for their relationship. Are they headed towards the end?
Derek Haas: I think you’ve got to watch. This episode will answer that question very quickly this season. We’ve said it from the jump, and it’s been a recurring theme on this show, that it’s very hard to have long-distance relationships, especially for people who love as intensely as Brett and Casey do.
One of the reasons that Brett has said she can’t move to be with Casey is because of her paramedicine program. Is she actually choosing her job over her man?
Andrea: What we’ve always said about Brett is she definitely cares very much about the paramedicine program. She got it off the ground. In the character’s past, we’ve shown that she’s moved twice for men in her life . She moved initially at the beginning for an ex and when she was with the chaplain, she moved to Indiana. I think she’s come into her own as a character. She’s a stronger character and now her feeling is she’s not going to move. No matter how much she loves Casey, she’s not going to move for anybody else. She’s got her life, and she wants to make sure t
