fear at your frown."
"I wish I was in the land of cotton;
Old times there are not forgotten;
Look away!

Dixie Land."
Dixie probably came from the
French word Dix (meaning ten), when a
bank in
New Orleans,
Louisiana, issued a ten-dollar
bill with the
French "dix" printed on it. Within a
short time, the southern United
States were filled with "Dixies" (ten-dollar
bills). Hence, the name
Dixie (or Dixieland) eventually came to be used as a
general term referring to the southern
states. The
phrase whistle
Dixie is sometimes used figuratively to mean to say something of no consequence or to engage in wishful
thinking.
"I do not like
thee,
Dr. Fell. The
reason why I cannot tell; But this I know, I know full well, I do not like
thee,
Dr. Fell." Despite the humorous improvisation,
Dr. Fell did remit the punishment and
Brown went on to write many verses which were collected and published after his
death, with "I do not like
thee,
Dr. Fell" being one of his most well known.
1,000
times one thousand is one million (1,000,000); 1,000
times one million is one billion (1,000,000,000); 1,000
times one billion is one trillion (1,000,000,000,000); 1,000
times one trillion is one quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000); 1,000
times one quadrillion is one quintillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000).
"It's a long way to
Tipperary, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to
Tipperary, To the sweetest
girl I know; ...It's a long, long, way to
Tipperary, But my heart's
right there."
