When police forces were first formed, they wore badges made of copper. Historically, quite a valuable substance, so it stood out. Police became known as coppers, after their badge, from which the abbreviation 'cop'. |

Ah, thank you! Iβve never thought about the origin of the word! We are all so amazingly different in expressions and whatnot, itβs fascinating. Apparently a bog is a toilet, too! π

Apparently a bog is a toilet, too! π Bog comes from people shitting outside before sanitation. Imagine you live in a community in the 15th century with not running water or drains. The place where the people go for a shit would become a little bit dirty and slippery.... a bog. |

Here a bog is just a swampy place! If thereβs some tie-in to shitting Iβve never heard it.

They probably have indoor plumbing by now, Monkey. π If the south has it the north has prolly had it a few years longer! It it does make me wonder if the name of our bogs is rooted in that, though. ![[hmm]](http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/diXlAGTvmKSUbEqRyond.gif) |

Mostly because most people here would be tempted to break the board host rules or pretend not to understand the rules.
Unfortunately the practice of doing it anyway and trying to ask forgiveness later, doesn't work out in real life.
Especially not on the internet...
Besides, most people would only ask the same 4 immature questions that they are dying to know about
but it would shock and offend their fragile sensibilities or sense of propriety if they knew.
The other half would just moan in outrage about how the answers to those 4 questions just took all the mystery out of life.
Seriously, the answers to those questions would literally destroy the world and all of civilization everywhere
because most humans are not responsible enough to handle that kind of knowledge.
I only answered 2 such questions on the last board system which lit the entire internet on fire for over a week.
Thankfully nearly everyone who saw it probably got so drunk that they have already forgotten.
Either that or they already destroyed themselves...
There are just some things that mankind was not meant to know, and it would utterly destroy them to have that knowledge.

No doubt that is where the expression "Don't fall in!!!" originally came from in reference to going to the potty. Because in some cultures it is forbidden to do that in the river since that is where people got their drinking water. So people did that sort of thing at the edge of a bog where nature would automatically handle the clean up as opposed to doing that in a forest or by the side of the road, which left a gross mess that nobody wanted to deal with. |

Please tell me there is no actual EU regulation regarding the curvature of bananas. Because that doesn't sound like pure imagination. There is nothing that the EU will not legislate about. Seriously, bananas must be within a certain range of curvature in order to be importable to the EU. The EU also prosecuted market traders for showing the prices of their fruit and veg in pounds (must be in kilos). The EU will legislate everything, BUT, if you suggest some legislation about wanting to prevent rapists and murderers coming to your country, they will prosecute the hell out of you for human rights violations and expect you to accept that some of your fellow countrywomen will be raped as a result of their project. These people are scum. I so want us to go for a hard Brexit and start taking other countries with us. How does this Daily Mail myth still survive? The only regulation to do with shape or size is to do with correct labelling so businesses importing bananas know what they are paying for (2 categories in total) Shows the sort of informed Brexit voter you were if you get taken in by this sort of nonsense. |

See, the real reason I banned Rissa from this board was that I found her frank sexuality very off-putting. I don't like it when a woman is that way. I get very uncomfortable. That seems to go against the minimalist guidelines established you established for moderating the board, but it's your party, I suppose. |
