ETYMOLOGY

Waldheim has a good etymological puzzle: how did the words "moot" and "table" take on opposite meanings on opposite sides of the Atlantic? The first correct answer gets a virtual beer from me, or, if you're in the metro DC area and still meet people in person (rather than just virtually), a real beer, provided it's in the next month.

P.S.: Not trying to steal your thunder, Mr. Waldheim -- I just thought it would be fun to add some encouragement. . .and I like beer.

MORE: An answer to this question will also get you a beer in Boston, apparently with no time limit. That's what I call "incentivizing" (if that's how you spell that awful neologism).
