: I've searched and cannot find the origin of the phrase "By the way". It's used so heavily that a search comes back with thousands of hits.
: Can anyone clue me in?
: Thanks...JC
I'm from the U.S. I've noticed that in British mysteries they sometimes say "any road" instead of "anyway." Which leads me to wonder if "way" in "by the way" means road.
