"Armwrestling History Lesson for the Day:

When someone mentions “armwrestling” 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? “Wrist-pulling”, “wrist-twisting”, “wrist-turning”, and “wrist-wrestling” were all more common expressions. When the sport was introduced to several northeastern states by French Canadians in the late 1800s and early 1900s “wrist-pulling” was often used, most likely because it is a direct translation of “tirer au poignet” – an expression that had existed in Quebec since the mid-1700s. (“Bras de fer” the more common French term for the sport today, is a relatively recent invention.) However, “wrist-twisting”, “wrist-turning”, and “wrist-wrestling” were also popular terms. All of these names were used interchangeably in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts newspapers of the time. “Wrist-turning” was more common in Michigan, while “wrist-twisting” was popular in Washington. These expressions virtually disappeared by around 1950. “Wrist-wrestling” held on and got a boost when Petaluma adopted the term for its annual tournament in 1955. “Armwrestling” started its slow ascent in the 1930s and finally became the most popular term around 1960. It’s unclear exactly why “armwrestling” won out. But at this point it seems unlikely that it will be replaced any time soon."
