The word diabetes was coined by Aretaeus (81–133 CE) of Cappadocia. The word is taken from Greek diabaínein, and literally means "passing through", or "siphon", a reference to one of diabetes' major symptoms of excessive urine discharge. The word became "diabetes" from the English adoption of the medieval Latin diabetes. In 1675 Thomas Willis added mellitus to the name (Greek mel, "honey", sense "honey sweet") when he noted that a diabetic's urine and blood has a sweet taste (first noticed by ancient Natives). In 1776 it was confirmed the sweet taste was because of an excess of sugar in the urine and blood. Although diabetes has been recognized since antiquity, and treatments were known since the Middle Ages, the elucidation of the pathogenesis of diabetes occurred mainly in the 20th century.\n\n\nThe discovery of the role of the pancreas in diabetes is generally credited to Joseph von Mering and Oskar Minkowski, two European researchers who in 1889 found that when they completely removed the pancreas of dogs, the dogs developed all the signs and symptoms of diabetes and died shortly afterward. In 1910, Sir Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer of Edinburgh in Scotland suggested that diabetics were deficient in a single chemical that was normally produced by the pancreas — he proposed calling this substance insulin.\n\n\nUntil 23rd June, 1921, when insulin was first discovered and made clinically available, a clinical diagnosis of what is now called type 1 diabetes was an invariable death sentence.

It is an idiom intended to mean "be careful, pay attention to detail"  it has morphed, in recent times, to mean many other things including "be polite".\n\nThere are several theories about it's origin, but the one I believe makes the most sense is - mind your Pints and Quarts.  Meaning to keep track of what you order in a pup so you are not over charged.

There are many theories explaining the origin of the word. The debate is still open on that one.\n\nBritish troops gave new derogatroy meaning to the word when the played the song Yankee Doodle Dandy as an insult to the citizens of Boston ("doodle" was a slang word for 'dolt' or 'penis')\nThe version of the song we know today has been altered from the original.\n\nAfter the battles at Lexington and Concord, the Americans taunted the retreating British with the word, giving it a new complimentary sense.\n\nIt now generally refers to an American, without intending to insult.\nIt's most often used to describe residents of the New England states. It's simply a slang word no different than calling a Nova Scotian a "Bluenoser" (after the schooner), or someone from Ontario and "Upper Canuck". They are fun words that add colour to our speech.

Germans are very into peeing on each other. It started as the healthful practice of preventing urinary tract infections by clearing the tract(peeing) immediately after sex, and eventually some people started incorporating it into the eroticism. No harm in it really, as urine is completely sterile.

During the 'brown period' (betweeen 11 BC and 9 BC), caves were filled with shit and puke. Man tried everything including cooking, which cured the shits for good. BTW, that was also the origin of the word "BINGO!"

The origin of the word f**k is lost in the sands of time, I'm afraid, but most of the apocryphal stories about it (that it's an acronym for "fornication under consent of the King", or "for unlawful carnal knowledge" for instance) don't even seem to have a shred of truth.\n\nIn all likelihood, the word is descended from the German word "ficken", which means "to strike, or club".  When the Saxons invaded England and their language merged with the natives and became entwined in middle English, the word became "fucken" (no, I'm not kidding).\n\nSo, considering what a good, hard f**k is actually like (sorry to be crude, but think about any time you've seen a guy going hog wild in the sack and you'll get the point), you can see where people would pick up using the word as slang for the act, especially considering what an erect penis looks like... and from there it became the ever so infamous "f-word".\n\n=)

Toilets appeared as early as the year 2500 BCE. The people of Harappa in India had water borne toilets in each house that were linked with drains covered with burnt clay bricks. There were also toilets in ancient Egypt, Persia and China. In Roman civilization, toilets were sometimes part of public bath houses where men and women were together in mixed company.\n\nAnd NO! Thomas Crapper did NOT invent it. Look in Wikipedia for more detail.\n\n\nQuote: "Thomas Crapper (baptized September 28, 1836; d. January 27, 1910) was a plumber who founded Thomas Crapper & Co. Ltd. in London.\n\nDespite urban legend, Crapper did not invent the flush toilet (the myth being helped by the surname). However, Crapper put in much effort to popularise it and did come up with some related inventions."\n\nEnd Quote.\n\n\nExtra detail: "1880s: Thomas Crapper's plumbing company built flush toilets of Giblin's design. After the company received a royal warrant, Crapper's name became synonymous with flush toilets. Although he was not the original inventor, Crapper popularised the siphon system for emptying the tank, replacing the earlier floating valve system which was prone to leaks. Some of Crapper's designs were made by Thomas Twyford. "\n\n\n\nAnd, why am I writing so much? Because I'm finaly lvl 2 ))))\nHope My answer will be enough for yall.

"Hick" is widely agreed to be derived from a nickname for Richard --Middle English Hikke\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=hick\nhttp://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?sourceid=Mozilla-search&va=hick\n\nSimilarly, the Oxford English Dictionary says it was "by-form" of the personal name Richard (like Dick) and Hob (like Bob) for Robert.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hick\n\n"Hick" was actually just one of many examples of a trend of creating rhyming nicknames (arbitrarily changing the first letter).   Hick and Dick (appearing in wriring around 1220) were  at the beginning of a great 13th-14th century trend That's where we get all these surprising forms like Polly from Molly, Bob from Rob (from Robert), Bill from Will (from William); and Hodge from Roger.\nIncidentally, a variant on this is also preserved in the nursery rhyme "HICKORY, dickory, dock"!\nhttp://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mdick.html\n\nFor other forms of "letter swapping" to create nicknames, and a variety of other methods by which English nicknames developed see:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/edgarbook/names/other/nicknames.html\n\nThe derogatory use of "hick" apparently goes back to the beginning, or very near it.   In fact, it may have been specifically coined to mock countryfolk.\n\n"At the time "hick" arose as a derogatory term for a country bumpkin in England around 1565, "Richard" was considered (unfairly, of course) a typical "country" name, much in the way "Paddy" (short for "Patrick," after the patron saint of Ireland) came to signify "Irishman."

"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!
