Re: Bitcin & back biting in session.
The Etymologicon is a circular stroll though words that you thought you knew the roots of. You might be surprised to find that you don't know much of their history at all.
It is a very entertaining read and gave me quite a few belly laughs. I can recommend it if you like obscure facts.
Etymology is the study of the history of words.
It might be good to look at the origin of bitchin' or back biting (just to keep the thread on track).
