    Dolt, as in ,"You silly dolt"
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Then there's "guddle", an olde english term which means to fish by reaching your hand over a bank of a stream or river.

    "Snarge" is the goop left on airplanes after a bird strike

    and my total favorite word of all time....

    DEFENESTRATION the act of falling through or throwing someone through a window!!!

    Evolutionary linguistics, very interesting subject. As fast as languages evolve they retain some phonetic elements for thousands of years. In some cases linguistic research can identify cultural links that even genetics can’t trace.

    Few off the top of my head:

    Grouse
    Flibbertigibbet
    Bun fight
    Mollycoddle
    Dog’s breakfast
    Hairy (still in use?)
    Moniker
    Yonks
    Snarky
    Crib

    Any more?

    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
