Default Look What Robert Lifson Found; 1898 BB (Parody?) Profanity!
Posted By: Rhys

I took a linguistics class is college from an Ivy League trained professor and on the first day she explained to us that swear words are always some of the oldest words within any language. I have never forgotten that and I guess this is further proof. Makes you realize a little bit why baseball players were looked down upon in the 19th century.
