ever wonder where the phrase "willy nilly" came from?

well I was wondering that after Pastor Danny used it in his sermon on Sunday -- just checking up on him to make sure he's not used any phrases with dodgy background!!

Anyhow I was greatly relieved to find out the history is perfectly innocent! You can find it here on Dictionary.com (whohoo Dictionary.com!!) -- look at the third part of the definition which begins with "Will I Nill I" ... very interesting!!
