Did you know?
- "Stuff" was originally a military term - Now it basically means anything, as in, "Whose stuff is this?" But originally, "to stuff" meant to fortify a military force with needed supplies. So when you say "I made enough stuffing to feed an army," you're being more literal than you think!
