So, as soon at they drink from the fountain of youth and regress to puppyhood, they’re no longer trained and need to have newspapers spread around? How long until some owner removes that sign about the fountain?
“Ditto” originally comes from the Latin word “dictus”, “having been said,” the past participle of the verb “dīcere”, “to say.” In Italian “dīcere” became “dire” and “dictus” became “detto”, or in the Tuscan dialect “ditto”…
