	BBC - h2g2 - The Origins and Common Usage of British Swear-words
		Words that are in common use in the UK are indecipherable to American ears, and vice versa.
		To talk this word would mean to talk rubbish or to be misinformed, while to say something is 'the dog's...' (often gentrified as 'the mutt's nuts') would suggest it is the best there is. Legend has it that in the 1950s, construction kits like Meccano would be sold in boxes of various sizes.
		Surprisingly, the word 'prick' when used as an insult does not come from slang for male genitalia but from farming equipment; the prick was a shaft of sharpened wood used to keep oxen in place.

	The case of Heather A.
		It was kind of weird: there weren't too many people at the presentation, but when the woman who was giving the talk said that alternative communities weren't for everyone, she very obviously looked right at me. Until that moment, she had seemed like a nice enough person.
		But since we are looking at alternative ways to live, I think that whether we realize it or not, on some level we must feel that doing what most people do won't get us to a good living situation.
		I needed to narrow it down a little, so I looked for communites that supported themselves by either light manufacturing or crafts, except I didn't want to get into any of the ones that also engaged in any amount of farming because, well, some of my friends are more the manicure type.
