Believe it or not, I'd actually prefer to sort everything out online. ( Read more... )
NB: I checked in the dictionary when writing insult 2a (I'd already written the title) and "fiants" honest to god is a special word for badger excrement (or ox, wolf or boar). I really really really really really cannot make this shit up.
PS: People who say English has lots of words have a point. I don't know if it's more than other languages, but there's something fundamentally endearing that "badger shit" wasn't enough, hunters used it so often they had a special word.
PS: There are lots more. Start with http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_287b.html and read "The Once and Future King" and google for the terms mentioned. Guano is the very least of it.
