Final Jeopardy Explanation – Wednesday, March 29 2023

Washington Irving coined the term “Gotham” in reference to New York City in a letter published in the “Salmagundi Papers” on February 13, 1807, a periodical that lampooned New York culture and politics.

Irving wrote “Oh! Gotham, Gotham! most enlightened of cities! – how does my heart swell with delight when I be-hold your sapient inhabitants lavishing their attention with such wonderful discernment!“.

The author took the name “Gotham” from an English village in Nottinghamshire. Gotham or Gottam, which means “Goat’s Town” in English, is mentioned in old Anglo-Saxon proverbs. Gotham is depicted in folklore as a settlement of simple-minded fools, possibly because the goat was regarded as a foolish animal in the Middle Ages.
