This is a real result in Google.

The term #googling is going to take on new connotations, and they don’t care.

Not to defend google, but given that Austria-Hungary has not existed as its own entity for over a hundred years, what results other than steampunk fiction would you expect to find?

The etymology of "bon mot" is traced back to the French language.

“Bon mot" literally means "good word" in French.

The word "bon" means "good" and "mot" means "remark, short speech".

"Mot" is derived from the Latin word "muttum," which means "to mutter, mumble, murmur".

The term "bon mot" has been used in English since 1735 to refer to a clever or witty saying.
