I still say smallpox. If Europeans hadn't brought something to wipe out the indigenous population, then we wouldn't be here!
as for pizza, tomatoes were thought to be poisonous until only about 150 years ago....
The originators of my favorite expletive... Pluck Yew!!!
Pluck Yew ? sounds a bit Chinese to me Matt....
'**** off' is more British and a universal word for many situations...
For instance a very large 250bhp outboard motor would be called a '**** off motor'
There are more...of course....
More useless trivia "Yew is the type of wood the British, and others, preferred to build thier longbows with. Story goes the french would cut off captures archers and cut thier middle fingers off. Hence the term "Pluck Yew" being used by fully fingered British archers to intimidate the French. Snopes say this is not true, but it makes for a good story.
Now my only question is, did the french actually say "I fart in your general direction" whilst catapulting cattle over the fortress walls at the British?
