Word 2: Buddy

'Buddy' is one of those words that have entered the common lexicon of the English speaking 98% of the planet without forewarning or explanation. Where did it come from?

I'm about to tell you.

Bud, as in flower bud, rather than a Wolverine aside, was used by the Norse as early as 3AD, while Jewish conmen were still cobbling together the New Testament. 'Bud' meant harmless. It was one of the few things harmless to the Norse in 3AD, when death lurked about every adventure as it does now for a bumblebee. 'Bud' slowly became a term of endearment amongst these early modern time measurement detail Norse. Why the 'y'?

The 'y' chromosome is exclusive to females. The Norse have loved raping the shit out of females since time immemorial. Long before the Vikings defined themselves with phallic tusks protruding from their headwear, the chromosomal pattern modern genetic experts have hung their tuskless hats upon came into being thanks to an 'x' per kill system. The Norse knew of the existence of Roman numerals, in which 'X' demarcated a ten. They found this system an affront to their basic belief in fucking anything with a phallus-containable orifice. They began referring to anything that would let a phallus up inside them as an 'XY', as in 'fuck the Romans'. This sounds strange to you, no?

The question 'why' was a part of Norse culture since before Thor was a twitch in the synapses of an entity that was yet to become a glimmer of sperm in the prepubescent ballsack of their ancestor's great-great ancestor. 'Why' was asked of anyone not manning up. If a doe, a deer, a female deer, had been felled, and all the meat stripped from her bones, the Norse would say of anyone not unsheathing a phallus to be first in line to defile the bloodied corpses entry wound, 'why? 'Why' came to mean faggishness - the behaviour of a woman carried out by a phallus bearer.

Thus 'y' was married to 'bud', and modern genetics found their lexicon.
