The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."
‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”
So a napkin is a little tablecloth.

Wishing you an OK day on March 23 — National OK Day! 👍
Back in 1839, the Boston Morning Post published the first known instance of "OK" (writing it "o.k.").
It was an abbreviation for the joking misspelling of "all correct": "oll korrekt." 🧵

“Never quit” sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. Be willing to say, “this isn’t what I thought it was,” or “this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.”
Remember that you can quit “the thing” without quitting on yourself.
Remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.
