is it called that because you used to have to hang your laundry over your “lawn” to dry? is this yet another example of the power of folk-etymology on the transformation of slang into language or simply a happy accident? you be the judge (or i could look up the origins of the word) hmm good call,go ahead and let me know what you discover, i’ve already looked it up for myself and i believe the ability to look something up for oneself is an honorable and helpful attribute. you will all thank me in the morning… or something like that!

i think my explaination is  fun :) i think i should bring you more word origins soon, they are fun!
