The origin of the hamburger has a funny side. Legend has it that in the late 19th century in the United States, sailors from Hamburg, Germany, brought with them a dish of minced beef. American cooks then put this beef between two slices of bread for convenience. And that's how the hamburger as we know it today was born in a rather accidental and funny way.
Here's a funny origin story about the word 'gossip'. It comes from an Old English word 'godsibb' which originally meant a godparent. But over time, as godparents would often chat and share stories when they got together, the meaning shifted to idle talk or chatter among people, which is quite a humorous transformation from a formal role to a type of conversation.
