Dear Straight Dope: Over the years I've heard two origins for the word 'pumpernickel.' Both seem reasonable enough, so it's hard to tell which might be the real one. One claims that it was Napoleon proclaiming the bread was only fit for his horse, Nicol.Or, in French, bon pour nicol.ence, pumpernickel is the devil's fart, allegedly a reference to the bread's indigestible qualities and hence the effect it produced on those who consumed it.
