- 20. Q 9: Catherine Rosalie Gerard Duthé (1748–1830) was a celebrated French courtesan. ● A companion of French kings and European nobility, she has been called “the first officially recorded ___ ____”. ● Duthé was an often requested subject for portraits, including partial and full nudes, many of which still exist in museums and private collections.
- 21. Dumb blonde • In Parisian society Duthé developed a certain "reputation by adopting the habit of pausing for extended periods of time before speaking.“ She appeared not only stupid, but dumb in the literal sense. This inspired a one-act satire about her called Les Curiosités de la Foire (Paris 1775) that "kept Paris laughing for weeks.“ Although the origin of the stereotype of the dumb blonde is not entirely clear, cultural historian Joanna Pitman has noted that “Rosalie Duthé acquired the dubious honour of becoming the first officially recorded dumb blonde.”
- 22. Q10: "X is A seven-stringed harp", as referenced by Will Cuppy in the first chapter about the Pharaoh Cheops or Khufu, in his book "The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody." Dorset Press, New York, 1950. Cuppy was most certainly kidding, since the book was a satire, but it is important to know that the fabrication of the term preceded its most common usage as a catchy phrase to accompany your clever pranks. X is thought to be derived from ____ which means, informally, to criticize or ridicule someone and formally, to suggest energy, zest, or verve. Another theory is that the word is a direct or derived Klingon term. This word can be used in place of such words and phrases such as Your mom, In your face, Face, and the That 70s Show word - Burn. Identify X.
