Good stuff. "Beyond the pale" has a more general etymology than the Dublin story. "Pale" means stick, cognate with the Spanish "palo" and also where we get the word "palisade". "The pale" would've been the fence or the border of an area. If you went "beyond the pale", you went into an unknown, uncontrolled, untamed, out of bounds, foreign place. Today we say it when referring to behavior rather than location.
Thank you so very much, I learned a lot from this presentation; about why people said what they did along time ago. Do you have anymore learning presentation?
Tim you are sort of right on the "beeline," but not entirely. Bees wander around gathering pollen and will wander nearer to their hive as their load increases, but not in a line. If you want to make a beeline (I've done this a few times, many years ago, when I was a kid, with my grandpa) to find a wild bee hive that you can harvest or collect and relocate in a man made apiary, you can take a jar of honey and spread some on a stump or something in the wild and wait for a bee to find it. That bee will load up with so much honey weight that he can hardly fly -- then he will make a 'beeline' for home. You don't need to jog or worry about fences or streams and not being able to keep up. Just pay attention to the direction he went and find a place on his path to wait. That bee on returning to the hive loaded down with already processed honey will have the attention of all his fellow bees, and he'll do a bee dance explaining it further to them. Meanwhile, there you may be sitting in the shade eating your lunch when you notice several bees wandering towards the stump. Get ready, it won't be long now until heavily loaded bees start flying past you the other way on the 'beeline' to their hive. You can easily see how much harder it is for them to fly under a heavy load, it's nothing like the meandering 'lofty' flight of an unloaded bee. You don't have to try to keep up with any bee, one after another heavy bee will pass you on the same beeline to their home. You just need to spot out the invisible straight path they are using through different bees rather than follow a bee. It takes a lot of bees making a lot of trips, all day maybe, to fly a pint of honey home, so you have plenty of time to deduce their trail. Thanks for all the other info, nice video. I hope you found the additional info that I had on one of your topics enlightening, or at least entertaining. Cheers.

People incorrectly believed that bees flew in a straight line
Fun but a bit long...

+Nell Rose Thank you. I appreciate it.
