That's easy for YOU to say.

Don't try telling that to Charlie McCarthy!

[Charlie to W.C. Fields]: Mr. Fields, is that your nose or are you eating a tomato?

W.C.Fields had a classic case of rhinophyma. Excessive consumption of alcohol is thought to be one of the causes, and Fields was said to have a spectacular intake of ethanol. J.P. Morgan was similarly afflicted, but his alcohol intake was apparently not excessive. With proper care such disfigurement should not occur.The
Fields anecdote I like best is the one about his very impressive vaudeville pool shooting act getting laughs in the wrong places, until he got suspicious and discovered Ed Wynne hiding under the table pantomiming to the audience. Fields applied the butt of the cuestick to Wynne's head and resumed his performance unruffled. The audience loved it, and mangement wanted to make it a regular act, but understandably Wynne declined.

Faldage says: Isn't that just like this bunch? Start off with a nice decent thread about feelthy words and it degenerates into some kind of vulgar discussion of etymology!
Does this thread need "obscene language alert"? We do seem to have gotten off the subject.

OK, I'll drag it back with my favoutite WC Fields anecdote  Offered a scotch polluted with water, he snorted in outrage: "Water? WATER?! Never touch the stuff - fish fuck in it!"

I am unable to think of any fish that copulate. However they surely do defecate. And the seagulls.......I used to live near a public water supply. The Water Department employees used to get nasty about people even parking beside the road on a causeway that crossed it. Once when they ordered me to leave, I pointed to the macadam surfaced road which was snow white with seagull poop, and asked why they didn't put diapers on the seagulls.

I believe flippin' was omitted from the F-word stand-in list...which also brings up the term flippin' the bird/flip the bird, our friendly North Jersey/ New York road salutation...how'd that start meanin' the middle-finger gesture anyway, folks?
And, yeah, Dr. Bill, if it weren't for all the flippin' tourists feeding the flippin' seagulls like a bunch of flippin' idiots every flippin' season, the birds wouldn't swarm and dump their flippin' poop over every-flippin'-thing!
