To borrow from Lee Mendelson and Vince Guaraldi, Christmas time is here, or nearly so, which means you’re looking at a scant few hours of frenzied final sleuthing — probably in vain — to find a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One before 2013′s holiday window closes forever. All these reports that both systems are sold out everywhere bodes well for Microsoft and Sony, and if both companies can maintain momentum through 2014, console gaming in general.

sleuth
Pronunciation: /sluːθ/
informal noun
- a detective: they make MI5 look like a bunch of amateur sleuths
verb
[no object] (often as noun sleuthing)Origin:
Middle English (originally in the sense 'track', in sleuth-hound): from Old Norse slóth; compare with slot2. Current senses date from the late 19th centuryOff his own bat
MeaningBy an individual's own efforts.
Origin
One question that I've been asked several times about the figurative expression 'off his own bat' is "should that be 'off his own back'"? Well no, it shouldn't. 'Off your own back' originated as a mishearing of the former expression. It has gained sufficient currency to be considered as a viable everyday alternative of the correct version, but purists dismiss it as a straightforward error.

Hewlett’s Hunt for Leak Became a Game of Clue

The company’s sleuths produced an 18-page report that reads at times like a whodunit, at other times like a dissertation.

FOR nearly a year until this week, Sharesleuth, the “investigative” business Web site financed by the billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, had published articles about just two companies. But in what may signal a departure, Sharesleuth has published an article about a third company: the Orthopedic Development Corporation, which is marketing a new spinal implant procedure (sharesleuth.com).
Among other things, the article says the company asserted that the procedure had been used on more patients than was actually the case; there was no indication that the company tested it adequately; and some patients experienced problems after the procedure. The company declined to respond to questions from Sharesleuth.
When Sharesleuth started in July 2006, it was immediately criticized because of Mr. Cuban’s stated intention to take short positions in the stocks of the companies that were about to be featured in articles written by the editor, Christopher Carey.

WORD HISTORY
Tracking down the history of the word sleuth requires a bit of etymological sleuthing.
The immediate ancestor of our word is the compound sleuthhound, “a dog, such as a bloodhound, used for tracking or pursuing.”
This term took on a figurative sense, “tracker, pursuer,” which is closely related to the sense “detective.”
From sleuthhound came the shortened form sleuth, recorded in the sense “detective” as early as 1872.
The first part of the term sleuthhound means “track, path, trail,” and is first recorded in a Middle English work written probably around 1200. The Middle English word, which had the form sloth, with eu representing the Scots development of the Middle English (ō), was a borrowing of the Old Norse word slōdh, “a track or trail.”
