Nonsense from the top of my head
CHURLISH
There are words you can use and words that
would be unthinkable to use in this modern day
words like churlish that may or may not mean
rude ill-tempered and/or impolite you'd have to be
as uncultured as a boorish barbarian to even consider
the type of behaviour that is thought to represent this
tasteless uncivilised word whose origins go back to
at least Anglo Saxon times where a Churl
although a landowner and farmer was looked down upon
by all and sundry as a lowly uncouth person who didn't
know when to blab or burp I guess he was the whipping boy
between the stocks but words and cultures evolve and
here's a new way of looking at this word that you may
not have considered before you see whenever you break a word
down into it's compound parts you invariably come up with at least
a couple of new words in this case if we take churl it not only
sounds like girl but in some senses it actually becomes girl
or perhaps girlish if you expand on this theme you eventually
come to a totally new meaning for churlish
which is childish and girlish neither of these words are acceptable
in common speak today so sorry folks the word churlish
has to be erased from the English language forthwith
