Title: arsegike makes Wikipedia
Post by: Emperor on 21 June, 2006, 09:22:20 AM
Just spotted this on Boing Boing about a list of made up swearwords:

http://www.boingboing.net/2006/06/20/made_up_cursewords_f.html

* arsegike from 2000 AD, a corruption of arsehole (coined accidentally by Simon Spurrier when using usenet and used in his strips ever since - if you attempt to write the letters HOL with your fingers shifted one letter to the left on a QWERTY keyboard, the result is GIK.).

Its a funny old world.

Marvellous.
