Have you been watching Alan Davies?

[Buenchico]

Far from new, surely?

I thought that AB's naughty words filter had stopped blocking things in URLs! (It used to be impossible to, say, post a link to Severn Trent Water's website because of it). Here's what I meant to post:

I'd love to know what Ratter was looking for on Amazon that gave him his link in the first place though ;-)

They was talking about a bird watcher using that word on Alan Davies As Yet Untitled last night. Maybe Ratter was googling to see if it could be true

[Old_Geezer]

It's a definition of the word that I've not come across before.

[Peter Pedant]

ask someone who knows?
Hi Ratter, nice to see you reposting

[Peter Pedant]

blimey fascinating
someone writing paper on naughty word etymology.

This one is on cleaning up a word. - oh! it does occur.Molly has no longer a naughty meaning.

so there is a lot on word change - ( pais mean child in ancient Greek and is used for a slave in NT greek - probably because he was addressed pai emou)
but not many one crossing the line

[Peter Pedant]

oh, Chaucer talks about the shitten shepherd ( dirty)
and surprisingly
the Danish PM called someone a "drit-sac" - which looks like dirt bag such as Hoover bag-filled
and means in fact poo-poo bag

drit in danish didnt lose the lavvy meaning

[Peter Pedant]

and only Boris wd know what Mentula meant
( as Naomi wd say - - "hey coooool googling!")
cos he is one hur hur hur
cos he is a Latinist of course

Had a copy for years, it's useful in combination with a standard field guide
Very much a case of it it looks like a duck,walks like a duck it's probably a duck....
Tail up and head forward it's this sort of duck, etc

[rowanwitch]

Lots of theories, I think I will go with Just is. Because it's what it does, you know what it looks like, you don't know why....It just is.....
