Just Crouton Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Link SWEARING IS ONE OF MANKIND’S FAVORITE pasttimes. It has never gone out of style, even if some words have come and gone. People’s favorite swear and curse words change over time, and this sadly means that some truly great curse words have been lost to history. While some old-timey swears sound downright tame when compared to today’s spectacularly imaginative uses of the foulest words (think about “f***face” for a second. What could that possibly mean?), there are some that would fit right back into our modern life. Here are some that we absolutely need to get back into our lexicon. 1. BeardsplitterA Victorian word for Penis. 2. BedswerverA British slang word for “cheater,” invented by William Shakespeare himself. 3. Gadzooks!A variant of “God’s hooks,” this old curse dates back as far as the 17th century, even though it sounds like it was invented for a 1940’s Batman comic. 4. Gadsbudlikins!A way of saying, “God’s body.” Another way of saying it is “Odd’s Bodikins!” 5. Arfarfan’arfA Victorian term for a drunkard. 6. RantallionA weirdly specific Victorian word meaning “One whose scrotum is longer than his penis.” 7. Zooterkins!A 17th century variant of “zounds!”, which was an expression of surprise or indignation. 8. ZounderkiteA Victorian word for “idiot.” 9. BescumberA word from the early 20th century meaning “to spray poo upon.” 10. GamahucheA Victorian word for Oral sex. 11. CacafuegoThis word, which means “braggart,” is Spanish in origin, literally translating as “shitfire.” It was the nickname of a ship captured by the Pirate Sir Francis Drake, who is presumably the braggart referenced by the word. 12. Thunderation!A variant on “What in tarnation?” which itself was a lightening-up of the word “damnation,” “thunderation” was popular in the United States back in the 1830’s and 40’s. It’s time for it to come back. 13. FopdoodleA dumbass. 14. FustilarianA time-waster, and another invention of Shakespeare’s. 15. Scobberlotcher.One who never works hard. 16. SmellfungusThis word, invented by Tristram Shandy writer Laurence Sterne, was made to refer to a man he met who complained about all of the wonderful places he had traveled to. The word later went on to mean any sort of buzzkill, but I think it should come back for it’s original meaning: whiny travelers. 17. MumblecrustA medieval word referring to a toothless beggar from a medieval theater comedy. 18. Mosquito-buggererIt’s Medieval, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. 19. RakefireOne who overstays their welcome. The term itself comes from the person who stays late and keeps the fire going, even though their host wants them to leave. 20. Bejabbers!An Irish word imported to America which was used as a substitute for “By Jesus!” 21. MuckspoutFinally: one who swears too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
