Last time in my hometown Ipoh we had a disco named Discovery.

I’d been questioning since then the origin of the word “Disco”.. is it related to “DISCOvery”, maybe it’s a place where people discovered themselves at that era when the disco started.

So I went for a dig. Well it seems less sophiscated than I thought.. disco came from French word “discothèques” which means music library. Nothing relates the word disco to discovery.

I know I know.. I was bored.
