From he who only farted
#15
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.
                                                                                                                                all this useless beauty... but what the hell, why not?
