thtownse commented on the word toot sweet
wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toot_Sweets): "The English expression toot sweet derives from the French phrase tout de suite (which means "immediately"). It first appears in English after the First World War, when, according to Mavens' Word of the Day, "many French words and expressions were borrowed by English-speaking soldiers."
