I wonder how cobbler came to mean a sort of pastry filled with cooked berries or other fruits? A cobbler is someone who fixes footwear. The idea of the semantic drift is truly staggering.
- Repairing a shoe
- Filling the shoe with a foot after reparation
- Allowing the shoe to become a crumbly pastry
- Detaching the foot from the remainder of the body
- Allowing the meat of the foot to become vegetarian
- Making sure the vegetarian items within the ex-shoe is now a fruit
- Popping the whole thing into the oven
- Feeding the result to southern geezers in casinos or upscale hotel buffets
Yeah.
