Open post Shig the Unmentionable @shig@misanthropolis.xyz · 37mo ago Replying to @BrianBinh@dice.camp @bluedragon@masto.yttrx.com It's actually true! Adding -ard to words in Middle English was equivalent to slang today adding -ass. A drunkard was a drunkass motherfucker. A dullard was a dullass motherfucker. A bollard was a bole (tree trunk)-ass thing. @@BrianBinh@dice.camp When I was a schoolchild, the suffix of choice was -wad: dipwad, dorkwad, and other even less friendly appellations. I was about a dozen varieties of wad in the eighth grade alone.
