Directive 113

My favorite proposed derivation for "shenanigan" is from the Irish sionnachuighim: “I play the fox”.

It's plausible that it comes from less fun Spanish or German origins about trickery or work. This one's better. I vote on this one. We own history. We can make this true. Let's go raid some hen houses.
