there are two supposed origins - \n1. is from the word nut, meaning hard seed, which is called "hnutu" in Old English or "*khnut" in Proto-Germanic\n\n2. from earlier be nutts upon "be very fond of" (1785), which is possibly from nuts (noun, plural) "any source of pleasure" (1617), from nut (described above). Sense influenced probably by metaphoric application of nut to "head" (1846, e.g. to be off one's nut "be insane," 1860). Nut "crazy person, crank" is attested from 1903, (British form nutter first attested 1958).

Poor Mexico - so close to the United States, so far from God,’ runs a popular Mexican saying. This leads me to believe it is a 'public domain' quote, the origin unknown, or unremembered

They are sort of a play on words, combined with a humorous attempt at replacing a swearword or blasphemy with something harmless.\n\nWhen you start to say "Oh my God!" you catch yourself at the 'g' and change it to "oh my Giddy aunt!"\n\nWith "God!" again you stop at the 'g' but change it to "Gordon Bennett!"\n\nAnd of course you might be about to say "F**king heck!" (or something similar,) when you sense your Grandmother breathing down your neck, so you catch yourself at the 'f' and say "Flipping Nora!"

First you have to define fastest. Do you mean the lowest E.T. and highest trap speed in a 1/4 mile drag race, or the highest top speed as if on the Bonneville salt flats? If 1/4 mile, you will probably find that it was mostly hemi-powered Mopars (Chargers, Challengers, 'Cudas etc...) or even the occasional ZL-1 Camaro. There were some 428SCJ and Boss 429 Mustangs that hit the track too, but many of those cars required significant driver skill to get a low E.T. With many of the Mopars, all you had to do was put it in drive and floor it. Some of the big GM cars had big blocks for big torque that made for some pretty fast speeds, the Chevelle LS-6 with the 454 probably the quickest. \nTop speed is a different story. It all comes down to aerodynamics, and some of the car companies rolled out some factory "aero specials" to make big numbers. You should probably look at the Plymouth Superbirds "winged cars" or the Talladega Torinos or King Cobra from Ford/Mercury.

please.....understand this...\n\n\n\nGod is a proper name.. HE is what (us) Christians call as their (our) divine Creator...\n\n\n\nbut god is a common name... it can be anything or anyone that resembles something with great power or influence..it can also be a synonym for deity...\n\nlike pagan gods or "money is a god" or animal/ nature gods (kami)... anyway, point is, when u capitalize "G" then you can't use it in statements like "money is a God"..y? \n\nwell like I told you "God" is a proper name.. using "a God" is grammatically wrong (and is very much wrong in essence) because of the article "a" added to it....also, statement like that violates the First Commandment (which I just did, anyway I was just using it for clarity sake)

"Hella" originated in Northern California. To be specific, the Bay Area.  It has been used there for at least 10 years.  It is derived from the slang "helluva" as in "helluva good time" etc. but its usage is very flexible. It is generally applied to add emphasis, i.e. "I was hella drunk" or "he's hella stupid."\n\nI hope that answers your question!
