Google Ramble

Hello,  and welcome to another idea i had called Google Ramble.  The premise is that I Google a random subject and write about it.

Today's subject is Wanton

wan·ton
ˈwäntn/
adjective
  1. 1.
    (of a cruel or violent action) deliberate and unprovoked.
    "sheer wanton vandalism"
    synonyms:deliberate, willful, malicious, spiteful, wicked, cruel; More
  2. 2.
    (esp. of a woman) sexually immodest or promiscuous.
noun
archaic
  1. 1.
    a sexually immodest or promiscuous woman.
verb
archaicliterary
  1. 1.
    play; frolic.
  2. 2.
    behave in a sexually immodest or promiscuous way.

Naturally, most of the results I found were the definition of the word, however, I found a single Wikipedia article for the Chinese dumpling Wonton, which can also be spelled Wanton.

A wonton (also spelled wantan, wanton, or wuntun in transcription from Cantonese; Mandarin: húntun [xwə̌n.dwə̌n]) is a type of dumpling commonly found in a number ofChinese cuisines.
In Mandarin, the name of the food is written as 馄饨 (pinyin: húntun; roughly meaning "slowly boiled dumpling"). However, the English name derives from the Cantonese wan4tan1.
In Cantonese, 雲吞 or 云吞 (pinyin: yúntūn; Cantonese: [wɐ̏ntʰɐ́n]), is a popular variant written form that literally means "swallowing clouds".
Alright, I'll be honest here, Most of this was copy/pasted, but I still find this to be pretty much in line with what i was attempting. I also don't own any of the material i copy/pasted, that stuff belongs to the people who actually wrote the stuff.  I think that’s all for now, I hope you enjoyed reading this and I hope you come back again to read what other bit of randomness comes out of my head.  I'll start putting a list of ways you can contact me in case yu have any questions or comments.  Until next time, Toodles ^^
