"Some revolutions occur quietly: no manifestoes, no marching and singing, no tumult in the streets; simply a shift in perspective, a new way of seeing what had always been there. New words enter the vocabulary, old words suddenly take on new meaning. Or they retain their meaning but their position changes: the peripheral becomes central、the walk-on becomes the hero of the play." (Suleiman、1980)

The origin of "ritzy "

Hi pals!

I just surfed the BBC's Learning English website, and found an
interesting story about the Ritz Hotel in London and the origin of the word "ritzy".



Hope you enjoy it.
