Word Etymology

Sometimes things keep me up at night. Questions on the meaning of life. And where / how certain words originated.

So, question #1: goatse

I really don't think that had anything to do with goats. ??? WTF.

 

Your right, YF. Their's something weird about that.

 

I wonder about 'uncouth' and 'disgruntled.'
Both are modern words, and certainly the latter is in common usage.
But one never hears/sees 'couth' or 'gruntled' used.

 

Alcohol will help this.

 

Or jerking off.

 

After we're done with word etymology, can we do the other etymologies?


Oh.

 

And I've never heard of clement weather -- just inclement.

 

OK, the context of the question came up during idle softball practice banter, and yes, beer was involved.

 

I never understood why it's considered wrong to put fag on a cake, unless of course the recipient has lung cancer.

 

Because it gets icing in his butthole? I'll hang up and listen.

 

Another great example, 'gruntled,' 'clement' and 'couth' - was isn't anyone using these words anymore?

 

Only if you're combobulated.
