djmikedr Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 So I'm still wired on like 7 RedBulls here so have something to read! 1. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase "goodnight, sleep tight" 2. It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month or what we know today as the honeymoon 3. In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them mind their own pints and quarts and settle down. It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's" 4. Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim or handle of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice. 5. In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they're having sex. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from. 6. In Scotland, a new game was invented. It was entitled Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.... and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language------------------Use email DJmikeDR@aol.comPM way too slow!

SPHERIC Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 That shit was really cool, I got one for you:In the early centuries in france during one of the king louie's reign it was unlawful for the people of france to have sex without the kings permission. If you were caught having sex without this permisssion, you were caught: for unlawful karnal knowledge,f.u.c.k., thus the word fuck!!!
