In what has to be the dictionary definition of ironic, "interpretation" first appeared in Wycliffe's 1382 translation of Daniel 5:14. "Ivory tower" first appeared in Wycliffe's Song of Solomon 7:4, and "born again" was introduced at John 3:3. "Female" (Genesis 1:27), "puberty" (Malachi 2:14) and "sex" (Genesis 6:19) each found their first occasion in print in Wycliffe. One wonders what words were previously used in their stead.
Coverdale's 1535 translation saw the first use of "left wing [lefte wynge]" (1 Maccabees 9:16) to describe political factions. Of course, Maccabees is deuterocanonical, so YMMV. NTTAWWT. FWIW.

For those interested (as I am) in this subject, here's the link where all of this information (and even more fascinating stuff) came from:

For the PJ in all of you
Peter King's SI.com column:
'From Saturday's New York Post, in its New York Fashion Week gossip column:
"A French fashion editor shocked onlookers yesterday when she strolled into the Fashion Television Suite at the Bryant Park Hotel, sat down, opened her Hermes Birkin bag, and lost her lunch into the purse. The editor, who shall remain nameless, then closed the bag and walked out. But it wasn't the vomiting so much as the woman's choice of receptacle that raised eyebrows: There is a notoriously long waiting list to buy one of the Birkins, which sell for upward of $8,000 each.
"'Can you imagine?' said one stunned showgoer.
"'Use the floor!' added another.
"'Or your shoe,' said a third, 'because she is never gonna get a replacement for that bag.'" '

BTW, I found a RealAudio link to the radio program mentioned above. It's with Alistair McGrath, the author of In the Beginning. It's available on the Wisconsin Public Radio website. He does a pretty good job of explaining the doctrinal reforms that followed direct Greek to English translation. The most famous example is the fact that metanoia in the Greek became paenitentia ("penance") in the Vulgate, but became "repentance" in Tyndale and the KJV. Huge doctrinal shift against priestly authority.
A personal note: The McGrath interview preceded by by an interview with Elaine Pagels, upon whom I have an enormous crush. I dream frequently about talking with her into the wee hours about early noncanonical Gnostic gospels over a bottle of red wine. Then we do the sex --- around the world. Usually on a macrame pillow.
Turns out she did her early work at Barnard, which means that I take back what I said about Barnard girls and roadhead. Hopefully. |

I'm not saying you didn't have independent knowledge. Nor am I saying that such knowledge didn't inform your Google search. After all, you can't do a really effective search unless you know something about the subject matter you're Googling.
I'm just saying that the Christianity Today article that you acknowledge finding includes not only all of the items cited in your post (in the same order), but also a number of other interesting tidbits. Why make your FB friends work to turf up this stuff? Sources of erudition should be shared, not hoarded. 
(In case you're interested, I found the site by typing in the first half of the last sentence in your post (having to do with the "left wynge" business), which included the "Maccabees 9:16: reference you used in your search. It was the only website that came up. As for the other sites you cited, show me any information set and I can show you several sites that collectively contain the entire disclosure.)
I hestitate to mention this, but....if you have a bunch of "favorite bible sites" bookmarked, you might want to get out a little more. NTTAWWT.
I'm sure you and Fugee are both going to give me hell now...so to speak. Oh well.

Another interesting linguistic tidbit: apparently the word baguette is a corruption of the French word for the Biblical "begat", and was so named because of its shape.

Ahem.
I have it on good authority that Gibson Dunn DC is looking for junior to midlevel lateral associates to work on litigation matters. I don't work there, so don't ask me for details. Just look up the name of a likely associate in that office, tell them that he/she located you, and they'll get $10,000 or so, assuming that you pan out, of course. Maybe they'll even give you some if you're nice.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Hmmmm. I thought it came from New Orleans Saints fans putting bags on their heads and hooking up in the stands, while their team took it in the ass on the field. The association with "French Quarter loaves" came later, after enterprising stadium vendors began selling trusty (and crusty) stand-ins for alcohol-induced impotence.
You heard it here first.
