   In this week's Grammar Girl podcast, we learn that "mansion" comes from the French word for "house." It was originally just a regular house, but our tendency to think of French things as fancy led to "mansion" meaning a big, expensive house.

   I also investigate a house-related familect: Why would a mother ask a daughter if a boy at school "gave her any house"?
