This is a short post... I just want to know... where does this word "honeymoon" come from? I'm sure that about five minutes of web surfing would lead to the answer but I'm feeling lazy. I mean, it must come from some long-ago idea. Originally I thought, eh, just means your honey moon's you. But, nah, probably not. I mean, weren't people still "blowing out the candles" before jumping into bed with enough clothes on to go to the town square when this term came about? They never saw each other naked.
Anyway, just bored over here and uninterested in working on the thesis. Gives the mind time to wander...

Perhaps from a comparison of the moon, which wanes as soon as it is full, to the affections of a newly married couple, which are most tender right after marriage.
