Talk:MASH (game)

Bias
Saying a Yugo or a ZAZ as a car is negitive is rather bias in my opinion, but I don't know what it should be replaced with... --JumboDS64 (talk) 23:28, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Slang term "mash"
According to EtymOnline.com, "masher (n.) c. 1500, "thing that mashes," agent noun from mash (v.). Meaning "would-be lady-killer, one whose dress or manners are such as to impress strongly the fancy of susceptible young women" is by 1875, American English, perhaps in use from 1860, probably from mash (v.) on notion either of "pressing one's attentions" or "crushing someone else's emotions" (compare crush (n.)). ... Also in use in late 19c were mash (n.) "a romantic fixation, a crush" (1882); mash (v.) "excite sentimental admiration" (1882); mash-note "love letter" (1890)."

Seems awful likely there's a connection between this very old slang and the titular very old game. Does anyone have info regarding this?--2604:2E89:B4D2:0:D0E:1FA0:C314:455B (talk) 10:18, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
