[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 664695, member: 4386"] A lot of people don’t know where s**t comes from (pun). “it wasn’t a swear word nor was that word considered a vulgarity by English speakers until sometime after WWII in the United States and it wasn’t placed on the British list of “swear words” until the middle of the Victorian era”. So this site is very Victorian, as is the best gold (also a pun) “It has been with us, in written form at least, since at least the 14th century, and is derived from Old English, which had the noun [I]scite[/I] (meaning dung) and [I]scitte[/I] (diarrhea) and [I]bescitan[/I], which ….means "to cover with excrement." Also, scholars are fairly certain that it was used by preliterate Germanic tribes in the time of the Roman empire, meaning that the word … is, quite literally, barbaric”. I have used ** so that I will not be bescitanned upon here.... [/QUOTE]
