And of course there is another word (formed from an acronym) in the English language that originated from the mariner's phrase "Ship High In Transit", because of the emission of explosive Methane from continuing fermentation.

| Wow! No S##T!!! I didn't know that Lawrence. I learned something new today. Seriously, I can gleefully add this to to all the other S##T that I proudly call knowledge but my wife calls useless knowledge. With a sense of humor like that I think I would pay money to see you. T'was a good one. |

Of course, if you were rich enough in the old days to buy a ticket on an oceanliner and have the sun in you porthole all day, you could buy a Port Over, Starboard Home; POSH Ticket.

Ummm, right. Don't tell me you also believe the nonsense about "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge," Lawrence?
Which is a load of shite, to quote my Irish grandfather.
Oh, and I know a wonderful old Flemish bagpipe tune called "De Oude Schijter." (Ij is pronounced as a long I if you need help with your Dutch....). You may notice a similarity of terms here.
To complete the single entendes, go find the classic old blues song named "If You See Kay (Please Send Her Home...)"
And don't get me started on Chi Chi...
Sheesh.

My favorite variation on "the Lord's name": cheese-and-rice!
I don't use it regularly, as I tend to be a bit ... errr, ummm ... "profane" in my normal manner of speaking. (Even taught Ma how to swear, years ago - now, she cain't swat me fer it. Subversion is a wonderful weapon.)
I also rather like a couple of expressions I learned from friends:
"Sweet fancy Moses!" and "My lord and a chicken!" |

Not really, but that is the thing about getting folks to believe false truth! (i.e. propaganda).
Say it with a straight face and throw in some perfectly believable "facts", to support it!! 
For those of etymological bent go to:
http://www.snopes.com/language/acronyms/acronyms.asp
scroll down to the appropriate word (not repeated here) and investigate!
Yes - I had an enjoyable pause over Dog's post as well!

Well, it's a real song, by the blues pianist Memphis Slim:
http://play.rhapsody.com/memphisslim/allkindsofblues/ifyouseekay?didAutoplayBounce=true
"Kay was a wonderful girl, a beautiful person... and she was built up like a Cocoa-Cola bottle.."
Yep, it's the same guy who sang "Let me play with your poodle."
BTW: I just learned that some youngsters named April Wine have a different song with the same name.
Sheesh, indeed. |

Braddah Ed - Momi should not complain about being called Auntie. You call me "Ma". If I am yout Ma, then I can give dirty lickins when you derserve it. But right now you are a nice boy, sweet and innocent. No lickins required. Now Annie better talk to Mark about behavin'. Or about his carnal knowledge.
You guys all keep me chuckling. |
Me ke aloha
