WOOZY now~!

WOOZY
I come across this word today while i am studying for my next paper..
WOOZY as an adjective means feeling unsteady, confused and unable to think clearly
well i am sort of woozy today ahahaha =D i am quite afraid of my next exam because it is my core subject paper...




Well it makes me remember about a children rhyme entitle : "FUZZY WUZZY"
The term "Fuzzy Wuzzy" originated in the 1800s.  
British Soldiers gave the nickname, "fuzzy wuzzy" to the Hadendoa warriors that were a nomadic tribe along the Red Sea in Sudan. 
The Hadendoa were a formidable fighting force that gained the respect of the better trained British forces. 
The Hadendoa warriors wore their hair matted which gave a "fuzzy" appearance. 
 The British were eventually victorious over the Fuzzy Wuzzies but with a greater fight than other enemies.
Rudyard Kippling wrote a poem in 1890, Fuzzy Wuzzy that praised the Hadendoa warriors for their fighting skills. 
"So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan; / You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man"
Today Fuzzy Wuzzy is known more as the nursery rhyme many of us learned as children.

this is the rhyme:

Fuzzy Wuzzy 
  
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, 
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
If Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?


GO..GO FIGHTING~~!
