RE: An Interesting Fact
HiHi

Hate to spoil a good story Ted, but I think Shit is an Anglo-saxon corruption of a similar word in Old Norse/German, probably came over with the Danes. I'm fairly certain that both Chauser and Shakespeare used the term in their writings, Piss & Fuck are also A-S words and again I think, used by both.

All the Best
Peter
