Talk:fizzog

Etymology
I believe this is not from physiognomy but rather a corruption of the title of the poem "Phizzog" by Carl Sandberg, which in itself is a corruption of visage. 151.205.105.84 01:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Interesting idea, but no. The word was originally spelled phisog., or even phisiog. – and the first recorded use of physog is in 1811, more than 60 years before Sandburg was born.  Widsith 08:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * is an alternative spelling of this word fizzog. I don't think either one is from visage! Equinox ◑ 15:05, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
