Chow mien.

"Bokeh the Chow" — cc Luigi Anton Borromeo.

Until that last post, in the entire 14+ years of this blog, I'd never used the word "mien." I'd quoted somebody else using it, and I only used it just now because I'd quoted somebody who'd written "his whole mien charged with sex" and repeating the word seemed funny to me.

But I had to look it up, because I wanted to be sure that the word properly applied to the whole body and not just to the face. It does. It means "The look, bearing, manner, or conduct of a person, as showing character, mood, etc." (OED).

But there was a second entry for "mien": "Chinese noodles made with flour." Oldest example published in English:

1890 Cent. Mag. Nov. 15 The food of this people is mien or vermicelli, and cakes of wheat flour called mo-kui or mo-mo, varying only in size and thickness, but never in their sodden indigestibility.

Well, that's mean! There's the note: "Cf. chow mein n." Notice the "ie" gets reversed. I guess that's why I'd never thought of "Chow mien," but I love the mien on the Chow called Bokeh.

Thus Article Chow mien.

That's an article Chow mien. This time, hopefully can give benefits to all of you. well, see you in posting other articles.
