What's the difference between a parable and a fable?

: fable parable

Why: The Bible is filled with parables; kindergarten is filled with fables. None of them are true. They both end in -able.

Answer: A fable has animals! or plants or anthropomorphized forces of nature. Each character represents a particular human virtue or fault, and what happens in the story is directly related to his personality. The word "fable" comes from the Latin root fari, "to speak."





A parable is set in the real world with human characters. It features realistic problems and results handled with spiritual fortitude if not sanctimony. The word is related to parabola, from from para, "alongside," + bole, "a throwing, casting, beam, ray."





Both fables and parables teach moral or ethical lessons.

Source: Wild Fables,

The More You Know: The word fable is also related to the word fabulous, i.e. "rich in myths; legendary." Speaking of fabulous, I just found out that Season 4 of "RuPaul's Drag Race" started January 30th.



May the best woman win!

What's the origin of the word javelina?

: javelina name origin

Why: I was admiring some art from Draw Something (are you playing? I can't get enough. We literally lie in bed drawing and laughing and cornholing except Buster) when I spotted this:



which made me think of this:



Pagoda! Where's my javelina?

and subsequently this:



There you are.
Answer: It's a topic of debate! But here is a pretty good theory:
  • It comes from the Spanish word jabali, "wild boar." A jabalina is a "wild sow."
  • That term comes from the Arabic term khinzÄ«r jabalÄ«y, "mountain pig." A jabal is a mountain.
Another option: What it may come from (but probably not) is the word javelin. Javelinas have sharp teeth, don't it.



Source: Some person's page about javelinas

The More You Know: Other beautiful names for the javelina include peccary and skunk pig.
