Hey everyone! 👋

I bet there's one fact about famous British writer ✍️ Charles Dickens you didn't know!

It has been a huge revelation to me that his surname 'Dickens' can be translated as 'Devil' and is actually not a pseudonym but his real family name 👺

"Dickens" is a euphemism for "devil" and is used in the phrase 'scare the dickens out of sb' which means shock or frighten sb very suddenly or severely.🙀

Did you know that?
😁
