Just different spellings of the same word really. 18 hours ago, Ulysses said: There's a chance speug/spuggie came across from Gàidhlig (or via Scots). Not sure where stuckie might have originated, though. Not sure either but in my (then) young head it was something to do with stukka dive bombers. Most likely a young vivid imagination is the explanation for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same thought. But still scraping the surface. Most if not all modern languages have their roots in languages of slave owning societies. We need new alphabets and languges free of associations with slavery or communicate only in gifs, emoticons and pictures. Fortunately thanks to the internet we have already made the first steps on that road. Edited November 5, 2023 by Francis Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 Lads, if you're on this thread and you're (a) not talking about BURSD or (b) trying to make a serious political point, you need to be wary of the risk - however slight - of making something of a Parus major of yourself.

Which was the language of the Romans? Who had slaves? Surely the word University should be cancelled. And all those who have ever worked at one, such as these academics, pay reparations. Or just shoot them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
