Love. Why do we use the word "love" to mean "nothing in tennis ?

The term comes from the French l'oeuf, meaning "egg" because an egg looks like a "0" When the game was imported into England from France the term was also introduced, but its spelling was changed to "love". We sometimes call a zero a "goose egg"

Hobnob. Why do we say two people in intimate conversation are " hobnobbing" together?

The term was once spelled :habnab" and its meaning was "have and not have." As a synonym for "give and take" it's an apt description of an intimate conversation.

Learn by Heart. How does it happen we say we learn things "by heart" instead of "by head"?

It's because of a mistaken analysis of anatomical fundctions made by the ancient Greeks. They

placed the seat of thought in the heart.
