From he who only farted

[rayheinrich]

I love the two-syllabled 'patched', 'welled', and 'fixed' above.
The 16th century wasn't all bad.

Off topic? You be the judge:

The image here is a plate from The Image of Irelande by John Derrick (1581)
which shows the chief of the Mac Sweynes seated at dinner and being entertained
by a bard, a harper, and two other entertainers on the far right. They are braigetóirí
(professional farters).

A piece by Anatoly Liberman on the etymology of 'Fart' (which contains the above plate
as an illustration) can be found here.
