"and the word hooker came from a general in the same war named Hooker who encouraged hookers to follow the camp from location to location."

The North's single, greatest accomplishment during the war...

Lutefisk.....the rottenest, most foul smelling fish.

Wrong. You obviously didn't read my reply to John a day or two ago. "Lutfisk" is the same thing as "Baccalat", former days poor man's dry fish food and it certainly doesn't smell.
You mix this up with "Surstromming", which is a small herring fish from the Baltic Sea, which fermenting prior to and in the can makes same look like a football and upon being punctured distributes an obnoxious smell contributing to the so called Global Warming.

BTW did you know that the 'b' in debt and the 'p' in receipt are grammatically/phonetically incorrect, and that they were artificially added to make those words look more 'interesting'
Not correct. No need to go back to Latin but in French, Italian and Spanish you have those consonants in there already spelled and/or pronounced as "v" or "b", which is the same.

English got that from Latin via French.
