The word for wand is always "baguette"... Why is that the best part? I guess I must be missing some reference.

- ajkjk 11y agoWell, to me wands are sticks of wood that are used for magic and baguettes are loaves of bread.
- pja 11y agoBaguette does in fact mean rod, wand or baton - the bread related usage only dates from 1920 if Wikipedia is to be believed. Go to Google translate and put in “magic wand” and you’ll get “baguette magique” as the French equivalent, with “baguette” alone as an alternative.
- rmc 11y agoBecause in English "Baguette" is a french long thin bread loaf. The idea of people walking around waving loaves of bread is funny.
