	Fly Fishing History: The Gaudy Salmon Fly
		This raises a question about the origins of the 'gaudy' salmon fly; the development of which seized the imagination of nineteenth century fly tyers, and arguably took the development of the salmon fly to its zenith.
		Despite a few gaudy originals, the bulk of early Scottish, Welsh and English salmon flies were dull in the extreme, and my own view is that early Irish flies were hardly different to their English counterparts.
		Whatever the origins of the gaudy fly may have been, within a very few years, the dull traditional salmon fly was swept away in a flood of brilliant new creations.

	Suspicion in the SCR: Gaudy Night, Feminism and Higher Education for Women

		Dr Baring dismisses this as ‘Miss Hillyard’s hobby horse’ (Gaudy Night, p 61) but Miss Hillyard’s remarks are borne out by the text and by the experience of women at Oxford at this time, when the overwhelming majority of senior positions within the University were held by men.
		It is interesting to note that Gaudy Night most certainly was read by women in all-female, celibate communities: my rather battered second-hand copy of the novel came originally from the Sisters’ Library of a convent.

		I find this hard to believe as he died in the late 1920s and it seems to me that this word is of older origin.
		Nobody minds a little creative conjecture every so often, but trying to trace a word such as "gaudy," which has been in common usage since the 16th century, to a 20th century architect whose name just happens to sound like "gaudy" is a bit much.
		That's not to say that there hasn't been a bit of a debate about the origin of "gaudy," meaning "tastelessly ornate or showy." One theory traces "gaudy" to an old Middle English term, "gaudy-green," which was evidently a sort of bright yellowish-green.
