[Facts] Attn:- Miranda
Miranda - hey, thanking you once again.
I'm now reading a fascinating book - Slang Down the Ages.A fascinating study of how slang words have devolped from the 14th Century to today. Interesting, in how it shows certain nicknames, that you can see would later form the basis of names we might reconise today. The book further explores the whole history of Bad Language/ swearing and how the terms came about.
