Re: For anyone who speaks Hebrew... (warning-contains swear words)
in reply to a message by oneway21001
Was anybody talking about Julia (apart from a fact that someone who calls himself Julia posted the question in the first place)? As far as I know Julia has nothing to do with Judah at all.
Also the Jews call themselves Jehudim, not Jedudim.
I don't think JULIA has "shit" in it. Click on JULIA for more info.
Where did you get the "Ship High In Transit" bit from?
All this sounds a bit weird to me …

Ship high in transit, for unlawful carnal knowledge and an-uncommon-word-in-general-parlance under the knowledge of the king are probably the most common utterly improbable and false folk etymologies I see popping up in the most unexpected places. scitan is old english, used long before manure was transported by ships across oceans. The indo european root is probably skei- (to split): no wonder us scientists b******t so much.
