Bad Etymology

Epic, n. abbreviation of electronic picture, any TV or cinema spectacular consisting largely of computer-generated imagery and featuring emoji levels of characterisation.

History, n. from hysteria, ultimately derived from Greek hustéra, womb; hence a narrative about the birth of a nation which is characterised by noisy emotional extremes.
