WOTD – Corpus Christi

July 9, 2010 in Travel

Well today’s word of the day is a little different than the rest. One it’s not provided to me by my boss, but by a colleague of mine.

He’s off to Corpus Christi, TX and decided to ask me if I know what and who the city is named after.  Stumped, I asked if it is the city where Mr. Christie’s tea biscuits are made. Let’s just say the room erupted of laughters.

Well aside from the actual city on the south east coast of Texas, Corpus Christi is Latin for the “Body of Christ”.  Make sense. After all the Art History class I’ve taken, a light bulb should have gone off earlier where Corpus = Corps and Christi = Christ.

I have to say though, Corpus Christi, Texas doesn’t look too shabby of a place to visit for work!
