Talk:fudge

What I want to see more of in Wiktionary is descriptions of where words came from. Fudge is one example, used as a verb. According to my Navy-issued Nomenclature of Ships:

The nautical phrase "you fudge it" was associated in 1700 with the name of one notorious commander of a merchantman, a certain Captain Fudge (by some called Lying Fudge), who "upon his return from a voyage, how ill fraught soever his ship was, always brought home his owners a good cargo of lies."

It's interesting background, but where would it properly go in the article?

Articles can have an ==Etymology== section for this sort of material. Jonathan Webley 06:44, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
