"The Freshest Advices, Foreign and Domestic":

Not a line from Borat -- rather, it was the motto of The Providence Gazette and Country Journal, at least as of Aug. 9, 1777. Maybe we should adopt it as our motto, too.

Mike BUSL07 (mail):
My first thought wasn't Borat - it was Arnold. In "Pumping Iron," Arnold confesses to the documentarians that he intends to sabotage his friend and competitor Franco Columbo. He admits, "I will give him bad advices." The line is repeated in the movie for dramatic effect.

Mike BUSL07: That was my second thought! But the "freshest" part was more Boratty, I think, than Arnoldy.

James Fulford (mail):
"Advice" meant something different in the eighteenth century than it does today. It could be a singular or plural noun. For example:


Recent advices from the minister of the United States at Paris encourage the expectation ... John Quincy Adams Fourth State of the Nation, Washington, DC, 1828-12-02

DR:
In an insurance context, you see "advices" almost daily.
