Bad Etymology

Migrant, n. from megrim a headache or a whimsy, borrowed from Middle French migraigne a headache, ultimately from Latin hemicrania half of the head; hence a capricious provoker of noisy one-sided discussion.

Opinion, n. from oh and pinion, a process of mental confinement by means of verbal exclamation.
