20. Q 9: Catherine Rosalie
Gerard Duthé (1748–1830) was a
celebrated French courtesan.
● A companion of French kings
and European nobility, she has
been called “the first officially
recorded ___ ____”.
● Duthé was an often requested
subject for portraits, including
partial and full nudes, many of
which still exist in museums and
private collections.

21. Dumb blonde
• In Parisian society Duthé developed a certain
"reputation by adopting the habit of pausing for
extended periods of time before speaking.“ She
appeared not only stupid, but dumb in the literal
sense. This inspired a one-act satire about her
called Les Curiosités de la Foire (Paris 1775) that
"kept Paris laughing for weeks.“ Although the
origin of the stereotype of the dumb blonde is
not entirely clear, cultural historian Joanna
Pitman has noted that “Rosalie Duthé acquired
the dubious honour of becoming the first
officially recorded dumb blonde.”

22. Q10:
"X is A seven-stringed harp", as referenced by Will Cuppy in the first chapter
about the Pharaoh Cheops or Khufu, in his book "The Decline and Fall of
Practically Everybody." Dorset Press, New York, 1950. Cuppy was most certainly
kidding, since the book was a satire, but it is important to know that the
fabrication of the term preceded its most common usage as a catchy phrase to
accompany your clever pranks.
X is thought to be derived from ____ which means, informally, to criticize or
ridicule someone and formally, to suggest energy, zest, or verve.
Another theory is that the word is a direct or derived Klingon term.
This word can be used in place of such words and phrases such as Your mom, In
your face, Face, and the That 70s Show word - Burn.
Identify X.
