Who wants to start a Euphemisms thread?

 

LONG list of stupid euphemisms - Alien Soup

 

Oh boy, do I get to let my language geek show for a minute?

All I got was Kardan, and all I know that that means is that the word preceding it is a verb. I only know a few words in Farsi, other than all the words that are Arabic cognates..

FRT_Fun wrote Farsi, you three are thinking of Arabic.


Speaking of weird euphemisms, how about:

ابن البط عوام

"the son of a duck is a floater"

It means, "like father, like son."

 

Boogity boogidy allah boogity kkkkkkkhhhhhaaallggg(insert spitting here)hhhhaa boogity.

 

We should create a Word Etymology section on this forum.

 

and now I know what Etymology is.

 

It's very exciting.

 

Can that be made to a verb, Entomolize?

 

Me thinks the verb would be "etymologize".
