1 : AWARD, HONOR 2 : COMPLIMENT, PRAISE usage Some commentators hold that since kudos is a singular word it cannot be used as a plural and that the word kudo is impossible. But kudo does exist; it is simply one of the most recent words created by back-formation from another word misunderstood as a plural. Kudos was introduced into English in the 19th century; it was used in contexts where a reader unfamiliar with Greek could not be sure whether it was singular or plural. By the 1920s it began to appear as a plural, and about 25 years later kudo began to appear. It may have begun as a misunderstanding, but then so did cherry and pea. I thought it was a Greek word. I'm not too crazy about the word kudos....but I love the hell out of these:

Some may find this annoying, but on the contrary, I love the phrase: "It is what it is."
I love how open-ended it is. It's the new Whatever.  | |
