triskellian: (knitting)
[personal profile] triskellian
Frog, verb. To unravel a piece of knitting. From rip (same meaning), via "rip it" and "ribbet".

How cool is that as an etymology?

(No, this isn't new knowledge for me, but I've just decided I have to frog my silly purple hat so I can reknit it smaller, and I'm reminded that I think the word is cool enough to share.)

You didn't quite get the terminology right, I'm afraid. It's the small bladed hooky thing of doom.
