It is a
lesser
known
fact
that the
word
'
trust
'
originated
with the
word
'
thrust
.' In the
1700
'
s
,
two
brothers
dueling
over a
woman
had
reached
an
impasse
and
one
of them
decided
he no
longer
desired
to
live
.
Due
to a
humorous
yet
unfortunate
accident
involving
chlorophorm
and a
goat
, he
lacked
complete
faculty
of his
tongue
and was
able
only to
request
that his
brother
"
trust
me in the
chest
." The
phrase
became
recognized
as an
expression
of
solidarity
after
wayward
logs
and a
strong
current
then
swept
both
men
away
and
bewildered
onlookers
never
heard
from them again.
