"Boogers" are just phlegm. Your nose creates mucus (the "boogers") to gather all the dust and crap in your nose, and then it dries up and falls out.\n\nIt's sort of like your own personal maintenance system. \n\n♥

I just learned this one myself, and it's kinda gross, but eating boogers builds up your body's immunities to disease.\n\n\n(told you it was gross)

Curse words date back to the early 17th century. It was said that Witches invented them. It was believed that when a witch put a spell (or a curse) on something, they would yell certain words. These words were thus believed to hold bad things and were not accepted. The history passed on for years and years, however, in the 1900's people started using the words as a means of pillory. The meaning of the words continued to evolve and are what we hear today.\n\n\n\nBy the way - that is a bunch of BS, but it is believeable!

Everyone is wrong except the guy who said it was from Anglo-Saxon.  "F..k" has a long pedigree in the Germanic languages.  It was found in Proto-Germanic about 2500 years ago as the verb *fukan 'have intercourse'.  This was not vulgar at that time and was a euphemism for some older word.  Ultimately, it comes from Proto-Indo-European *pug- "to strike", from which we get the borrowed Latin form pugilism 'boxing'.

boo is a term that is derived from the French word "beau" meaning beautiful. In 18th century England it meant an admirer, usually male. It made it's way into Afro-Caribean language perhaps through the French colonisation of some Caribean islands.

By far the most shocking one that I'd discovered was "feisty," which literally means "like a farting dog."  It comes from an abbreviation of the phrase "fisting hound" or "fisting dog," and "fist" was in this case a reference to breaking wind.  (Though "fist" was used in the phrase as a general pejorative, like if you tripped over the "fucking chair.")

It's spelled FUBAR. It means Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition. Some choose to use the "F" word instead of fouled. It originated in WW2. Also standard was the saying SNAFU Situation Normal All Fouled Up. Again Fouled can be replaced with the swear word.

Spelling it "tickety-boo" I found:\n\n"But some find a link with the British Army in India, suggesting it comes from the Hindi phrase tikai babu, which is translated as “it’s all right, sir”."

I don't know i am Flabbergasted! Joking!\n\nThe British comedian Frankie Howerd used to say in mock astonishment: “I’m flabbergasted—never has my flabber been so gasted!”. That’s about as good an explanation for the origin of this word as you’re likely to get. It turns up first in print in 1772, in an article on new words in the Annual Register. The writer couples two fashionable terms: “Now we are flabbergasted and bored from morning to night”. (Bored—being wearied by something tedious—had appeared only a few years earlier.) Presumably some unsung genius had put together flabber and aghast to make one word.\n\nThe source of the first part is obscure. It might be linked to flabby, suggesting that somebody is so astonished that they shake like a jelly. It can’t be connected with flapper, in the sense of a person who fusses or panics, as some have suggested, as that sense only emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. But flabbergasted could have been an existing dialect word, as one early nineteenth-century writer claimed to have found it in Suffolk dialect and another—in the form flabrigast— in Perthshire. Further than this, nobody can go with any certainty.

Very interesting point, I hadn't realised that farts came in so many categories!\nI once wrote a thesis on Gronnels (German mathematician) discover that smell is amplified by heat, he discovered this by farting in a hot bath tub! \nHe found that when the resulting bubbles burst the smell was much stronger than usual! This is actually where the term 'Smellrika' stemed from! \nI was unable to prove a use for this phenomenon in my thesis , and I fear the same would apply to yours.\nHowever thanks for bringing it to our attention, I am sure the question will be debated for years to come.\nHope this helps??

I'm not sure what you are looking for..and what is the second word....I found blosh...and this is what it listed..\nBlosh is a slang word developed by for members of Tha Bird Flu Crew. A sticker was seen on the back of a mini-van that said 'Blast!' but because of how it was printed, it appeared to be BLOSH at a glance. It was then adapted to be used as an exclaimative statement or used as an adjective or noun.\n\nSorry that was all i could find...
