Tuosta saisi hienon taulun salin seinÀlle"Armwrestling History Lesson for the Day:
When someone mentions âarmwrestlingâ today, almost everyone knows what it is. It is by far and away the most common term to describe the activity. But did you know that prior to about 1940, the term was barely used? âWrist-pullingâ, âwrist-twistingâ, âwrist-turningâ, and âwrist-wrestlingâ were all more common expressions. When the sport was introduced to several northeastern states by French Canadians in the late 1800s and early 1900s âwrist-pullingâ was often used, most likely because it is a direct translation of âtirer au poignetâ â an expression that had existed in Quebec since the mid-1700s. (âBras de ferâ the more common French term for the sport today, is a relatively recent invention.) However, âwrist-twistingâ, âwrist-turningâ, and âwrist-wrestlingâ were also popular terms. All of these names were used interchangeably in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts newspapers of the time. âWrist-turningâ was more common in Michigan, while âwrist-twistingâ was popular in Washington. These expressions virtually disappeared by around 1950. âWrist-wrestlingâ held on and got a boost when Petaluma adopted the term for its annual tournament in 1955. âArmwrestlingâ started its slow ascent in the 1930s and finally became the most popular term around 1960. Itâs unclear exactly why âarmwrestlingâ won out. But at this point it seems unlikely that it will be replaced any time soon."
