[QUOTE="nlj, post: 670173, member: 17650"] Aparently it has its origins in the latin word 'fufuris' (pronounced foo foo riss) which means 'split'. Etymology is great isn't it? By the way... Do you use the word 'steaming' to mean drunk over there? I was watching a TV programme yesterday evening and something came up about alcohol being available on steam ships during prohibition, even though it was illegal on land. So people used to go on steam ship cruises to get drunk, hence the word 'steaming'. Love it. Should have studied and taught languages instead of maths :(, could have filled my head with loads of useless bits of interesting information like this. [/QUOTE]
