I know this site is about people's names but I have looked everywhere for the derivation of the word chad we are hearing so much about lately. I KNOW it's a piece of paper from a punch card, but WHY ON EARTH is it called a chad. All the dictionaries I've found say origin unknown. SOMEONE must know. Help me out here if you can--I can't sleep--this is driving me nuts!
