Celebrated today to commemorate the birth (in 1580) of the most generic Smith of all, John.
Captain John Smith was an English coloniel leader who eventually hooked up with Pocohontas.... or did he. His embellishments have been refuted by historians over the years, guess he didn't think that anybody would fact check him several hundreds of years later.
Interesting Smith fact: According to the U.S. Census, 1% of the American population is a Smith.
Several spellings and pronounciations; Smyth, Smythe, Smit but today is just for the original Smith.
A fun tongue twister for you to try: "Mrs. Smith's Fish Sauce Shop"... The world record is 17 times in 30 seconds.
Some of our favorite Smiths:
Kevin Smith... Silent Bob and hockey fan.
Will Smith... The Fresh Prince, Jada's husband, Willow and Jaden's Dad.
Anna Nicole Smith... Rest her busty soul.
Smithwicks... Better than Guiness.
Cliff Smith... Somebody with an English accent may say it Cliff Smiff. You know him as rapper Method Man or Meth for short.
Smith Family... Headed up by Sargeant Smith played by Henry Fonda, who in 1999 was named 6th Best Male Star of all time by the AFI. Too bad he couldn't keep this show from tanking after 39 episodes in the 70's.
Lock Smith (locksmith)... Got me into me house when I left my keys in the oven.
The Smiths... ah Morrissey, is there anything you can't do.
