[Andy N1ORK]

Ok Randy you got me stumped. How is ort to shoes? I looked everywhere and can't figure it out. Let's get this explanation before we move on.

[Radio]

ort is to "Rose"

Research: "ORT" is a name brand of shoes created by a lady named Olivia Rose Tal.

:think:

From the dictionary:

ort

n.
A small scrap or leaving of food after a meal is completed. Often used in the plural.
A scrap; a bit.

[Middle English orte, food left by animals, probably from Middle Dutch : oor, out; see ud- in Indo-European roots + eten, to eat; see ed- in Indo-European roots.]

Which has nothing to do with shoes. ORT is the initials of the designer of the shoes.

Good one, Randy. ;)

-----------------------------------------------

Definition of "Pone" from The Free Dictionary

A staple of the early American colonies from New England southward to Virginia was pone, a bread made by Native Americans from flat cakes of cornmeal dough baked in ashes. Pone is one of several Virginia Algonquian words (including hominy and tomahawk) borrowed into the English of the Atlantic seaboard. The word pone, usually in the compound cornpone, is now used mainly in the South, where it means cakes of cornbread baked on a griddle or in hot asheshttp://img.tfd.com/hm/GIF/mdash.gifas the Native Americans originally cooked it.
