I heard that it was Anglo-Saxon....from the Chronicle or something. "an
steorra" was in the middle of some sentence and means 'one star.'

"There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be
 offered: entertainment, food, and affection.  It is customary to begin
 a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount
 of food, and the merest suggestion of affection.  As the amount of
 affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately.
 When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating.
 Under no circumstances can the food be omitted."
