Tell you what started this off. A friend of mine at work asked where the word "crap" came from. On investigation it seems the best bet is that a man called Thomas Crapper, a plumber in the 19th Century patented a lot of products to do with plumbing and water facilities. Whilst, it seems, he didn't actually invent the bog (his name isn't patented, although he was the boss of the man who did patent it)...but it could have been him. Hence the term "I'm just going to the Crapper"....and therefore the word now means to designate something that is shite. :)

Here's a couple more to get you started.

Why do most southern Irish men have high pitched voices?

Why do women all talk at the same time and then pretend they've heard what the rest of them have said?

Let's get the ball rolling here.... ;)

Q & A's please!!!. Let it not be said that man doesn't have a thirst for knowledge about things that really matter. :bigeyes04:

I heard someone say today as well, that she "couldn't tell George from Adam" when looking and talking about two almost identical things. Where does that come from?

Who were George and Adam?
