What is the origin of “Hin-do”…
Original author: Mike Snyder
What is the origin of “Hin-do” for do-over? I make a guess that it might be Germanic, “hinter” means back, like in Berlin they have buildings set up in such ways that there is a front-house and a back-house (hinterhaus). In which case, it is maybe a Yiddish usage. I’m perhaps being redundant: to go back and do over.
