The origins of the word kiosk are found in the French kiosque, the Turkish köşk and Persian kūshk. In modern British English, the word kiosk refers to small, often wooden, structures from which newspapers, snacks and tobacco are sold. Telephone boxes are sometimes referred to as telephone kiosks.
A sheep, a cow and a pig went to market, a meat market, and there they were turned into food. Thanks to the French language we can now differentiate between the live animals and the ready-to-eat versions; 'sheep' becomes 'mutton', 'cow' becomes 'beef' and 'pig' becomes 'pork'. Look out for these words on a menu near you.
