| Yeah, I know what the German means, I'm quite the linguist. I just didn't have an answer. I was playing a game, the 'sabotage the word association thread' game. It's fun. |

Bonjour Wiki!
"The name derives from early in the Industrial Revolution. It is often said that powered looms could be damaged by angry or disgruntled workers throwing their wooden shoes or clogs (known in French as sabots) into the machinery, effectively clogging the machinery. This is often referenced as one of the first inklings of the Luddite Movement. However, this etymology is highly suspect and no wooden-shoe sabotage has been proven from the time of the word's origin." |
