[QUOTE="Depresso, post: 76418, member: 347"] Shit... Did you know... Old English and other Germanic tongues originally avoided the native word for “bear” out of a fear taboo, replacing it with euphemisms tied to color; as a result, the common Germanic root *hwr̥z-/*hūr- (related to “brown”) or similar color-based words came to be used instead so "bear" just means the brown one. The tribes were dead scared that actually uttering the word would bring the bear to the tent. Bears are fucking brutal and eat things alive, they don't slaughter their prey like cats do. Bears will literally skin scores, maybe hundreds of salmon leaving them alive and violated by the river. There's no fair game, kosher or halal, with these brown boys. If the taboo word was actually preserved in the English language, following all the natural sound shifts, it would have become "ort", "ordy" or "rought".
