Etymology!Cicero: a Roman cognomen which meant "chickpea" from Latin
cicer.
Cicerone is an old term for a guide, one who conducts visitors and sightseers to museums, galleries, etc., and explains matters of archaeological, antiquarian, historic or artistic interest. The word is presumably taken from
Marcus Tullius Cicero, as a type of learning and eloquence. The
New English Dictionary finds examples of the use earlier in
English than
Italian, the earliest quotation being from
Joseph Addison's
Dialogue on Medals (published posthumously 1726). It appears that the word was first applied to learned antiquarians who show and explain to foreigners the antiquities and curiosities of the country (quotation of 1762 in the
New English Dictionary).

Songs!It seems every time I find a good man
He's got a good little wife
I'm not jealous but I won't lie
I don't want to hear about your wonderful life
And babies everywhere I look
Trophy wives with their little black books
At this rate I'm gonna end up alone
It's probably all my fault, all my fault
