Monday Answer
Monday Answer:
Sort of a trick answer for April fools day. The words are the same and interchangeable. If you sometimes think English is awkward well, so is French. Both answers are pronounced the same and are interchangeable with one another even to dual spelling.
Origin: From A.Ch.Boule, a French carver in wood.

French for ball, sphere, or globe. In lumbering, the expression is �cutting for the boule� it means to cut a log from one side to the other, without turning it and without first trimming it square, so that the boards can be grouped in the order that they were cut to resemble the rounded, boule like form of the log. �Plain sawing� and �sawing through and through� may also be applied to this sawing method.
