Etymology of HAM rado 3 Years ago Karma: 0
I was browsing through some of the articles and was not happy about the one that describes the origins of the word. If i recall, the word HAM was used to describe an amateur actor-- an amateur soap actor used pig fat make and the term HAM was used to describe any thing amateur/ also in a negative no good incompetent person. I believe even wikepedia states the other origins as "alternate but false". What is right?? or the next question Does it matter ?? Whats in a Name a rose by any other name will smell just as sweet ??
