CRICKETS NO.1 Mug

HIGHER RESOLUTION IMAGES can be seen at my FaceBook Page - RkobsStudio Creates https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558759285010 The singing of crickets in the folklore of Brazil and elsewhere is sometimes taken to be a sign of impending rain, or of a financial windfall. “Jiminy Crickets”... we could all use a windfall! In the 19th century “cricket” and “crickets” were in used as euphemisms for using Christ as an interjection. The addition of “Jiminy” (a variation of “Gemini”), sometimes shortened to “Jimmy” created the expressions “Jiminy Cricket!” or “Jimmy Crickets!” as less blasphemous alternatives to exclaiming “Jesus Christ!” So why does Mr. Walt own the name Jiminy Cricket, it was in common use before he appropriated it.
