tgptndr, Well, I sure hope the Indians did it, since Eton was established in 1440.

I see, by the typing rooms. max view by the ladies.
Yeah we did that....and we guarded against that being done to us. You develop a 'shorts protection reflex', must be linked to the testicle protection reflex as it only takes one incident to burn it into your reaction patterns..
We ran off field without bunching up at all.

Another interesting term was shouted out by upperclassmen who wanted a lowerclassman to get him firewood for his fireplace. Fag was the term, for faggot of wood, which is the terms for loose fallen branches from the ground.
In the old days commoners could gather fallen wood from the Kings/Dukes/etc forest, but could not cut trees etc.

By 1440 they were a lot more civilised, but they still had some serfdom, so the king's word was some kind of law.

Can you imagine the life of the poor serf in those days? It must have been like life in CubeInteland
