Billanthropy

[Olga]

Вчера в одном журнале натолкнулась на такое интересное слово:

BILLANTHROPY

Это слово продукт слияния двух слов типа
brunch=breakfast +lunch

Попробуйте догадаться производным каких двух слов является

BILLANTHROPY?

[Марина]

Раздавание Димы Билана всем нуждающимся

[Рыся]

Любовь к счетам?

[Olga]

Girls, I love your ideas, they are really brilliant!!! but this word has another meaning.

I'll give you some hints

BILL is somebody you know well I'm more than sure you've heard his name thousand times. Who is he?

-ANTHROPY is the second part of a word. This word means something that rich people feel proud of

So, any other ideas?

[Рыся]

А это не Моника Льюински? (любовь к Биллу Клинтону)

[Olga]

No it isn't Monika and not Bill Clinton

think of another Bill

[Рыся]

The only other Bill I recall is Bill Gates.

Maybe it is Windows?

[Olga]

Oh, yes!!! It's Bill Gates

actually BILLANTHROPY has nothing in common with Windows, but with the money Bill Gates has made on it

[Рыся]

You mean Gates, not Clinton?

Windows is Gates`s apple.

[Olga]

Yes, I meant Bill Gates

Just concentrate on -ANTHROPY. Try to guess the part of which word it is.

[Рыся]

philanthropy

[Olga]

YES! YES! YES!

So, now guess what was the article about?

I mean the article in the magazine called "BILLANTHROPY"

[Рыся]

philanthropy is the desire to help people

maybe article is about something Gates did or willing to do, maybe get Windows free?

[Olga]

This article is about Bill Gates' desire to help other people.

I am not sure that Bill Gates will ever want to make his Windows free

[Рыся]

am not sure that Bill Gates will ever want to make his Windows free

Is there another way to help?
