of the devil and he shall appear. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. This

proverb could also just be shortened to speak in the devil. It can also be heard

as speak of the devil and in he walks or talk of the devil. So you might hear it

any of those ways. All right. Let's continue. Let's look at the note here. The proverb

is basically used today to express the idea that when you talk about a person

he suddenly appears. So it's kind of used in a humorous way. That you were talking

about the person and then he shows up. You say. .. speak of the devil.

Talk to the devil. Look who's here. That's the way we usually use it. So let's

continue. The origin of the phrase is based on an old superstition that if one

pronounces the devil's name it could cause him to appear. It can also be found

in many old Latin and English texts. The earliest citing seems to be from the

writer Giovanni Torriano in Piazza Universale 1666. Yeah.

I think we, we took another quote from him before too. It's a little ironic too that the

date on this is 1666 because you know in the West they often think of 666 for the

devil's number. So maybe it's just a coincidence.

Anyway, let's continue here. The English say ... So this is his actual quote from the

book" The English say talk the devil and he's presently at your elbow. " So and of

course it forms into the way ... into several ways that we use it today. All

right. Anyway, let's , let's continue here we have had two examples.

Speak of the devil. Look who just walked in the door. We were just talking about

you. You know I think I've heard it used this way so many times. Or somebody might

say speak of the devil. We were just about to call you , and invite you to come over

Oh and you just walked in you just appeared.Well it's amazing. That's

usually the way it's used. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank

you for your time. Bye-bye.
