[2] jodhpurs (n.)1912, jodpores (earlier as jodhpur riding-breeches, 1899), from Jodhpur, modern day state of Rajasthan a former state in northwestern India. The city of Jodhpur was founded in 1495 by Rao Jodha who belonged to the Rathore clan of Rajputs. In the late 1800s, Sir Pratap Singh , the Maharaja of Idar and the Regent of Jodhpur , who was an avid Polo player , was dissatisfied with the prevailing style of breeches and embarked on a quest to produce a garment more suited to the needs of the game. He chose as his template the ‘churidar ‘[*]which is a traditional Indian long pants.
[*] Churidar, or more properly churidar pyjama is tightly fitting trouser worn by both men and women in the Indian subcontinent. Churidar are a variant of the common shalwar pants. Shalwars are cut wide at the top and narrow at the ankle.
[3] gaffe (n.) "blunder," 1909, perhaps from French gaffe "clumsy remark," originally "boat hook," from Middle French gaffe (15c.), from Old Provençal gafar "to seize," probably from a Germanic source, from Proto-Germanic *gaf-, which is perhaps from PIE root *kap- "to grasp." Sense connection between the hook and the blunder is obscure; the gaff was used to land big fish. Or the Modern English word might derive from British slang verb gaff "to cheat, trick" (1893); or gaff "criticism" (1896), from Scottish dialect sense of "loud, rude talk" .
faire gaffe (informal) to watch out. Fais gaffe : la peinture est encore humide ! Watch out: the paint’s still wet!
