Titera's Tidbit: Ready, Willing, and Able
In old-fashioned legal contracts dating to the nineteenth century, a party hired to work on a project was required to affirm that he or she was "ready, willing, and able" to do the job: ready, meaning available at once; willing, meaning not forced to do so; and able, meaning not having stuffed a resume to get the gig. The highly useful phrase has taken on an ironic tone, but it still turns up in contracts.

Titera's Tidbit: Churl
In medieval England, a "churl" was a farmhand. In a familiar process whereby things rural and working class become somehow bad, the word -- also the origin of the proper name Carl -- came to mean someone with bad manners; layered onto that now is the suggestion of ingratitude for favors done, so that a "churl" is an ungrateful boor.
