I found a new one expressed by Shaka today. I was pounding him into the ground, and he said
"I prefer war to peace, ... but this war has outlived its usefulness. ...".

Naturally, I declined; until I conquered some gems and oil, and started suffering from war weariness several turns later.

The History of the Word ****

Ship
High
In
Transit

Manure in a wooden ship for three or more monts is no good. (ie. It produces lots of highly explosive methane gas.) That was learned after a few incidents. It was then (and is now) shipped hiher up in the cargo hold(s) of ships to allow the explosive gases to escape harmlessly into the atmosphere.

Nah, that is, pardon the pun, bull****.

Here's the origin:

http://www.wordorigins.org/wordors.htm#****

****

**** is a very old word, with an Old English root. *ScÃtan is the Old English word. It has cognates in most of the other Germanic languages and shares a common Germanic root with modern equivalents like the German scheissen.
*ScÃtan, however, doesn't appear in extant Old English texts and is only assumed to have existed in Old English. The verb to **** dates the Middle English period (c. 1308), and the noun form is from the 16th century. The interjection is of quite recent vintage, not found until the 1920s.

In 2002, an alleged acronymic origin for **** appeared on the Internet. According to this tale, the word is from an acronym for Ship High In Transit, referring to barges carrying manure. This is a complete fabrication and absurd on its face. All it takes to disprove it is to look up the word in any decent dictionary. Remember, anytime someone posits an acronymic word origin, chances are that it is utterly false.

Well, we've discoverered that it's not Ship High In Transit, so it must be:

For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.

Well, I can't vouch for the origin of that phrase (or even if that's what the acronym really means), but that's it according to a Van Halen album.

[minke19104]

I thought it was

Fornication Under Carnal Knowledge??

One of my High School teacher told me that.
