Title: sneezes?
Post by: MPTheory on April 12, 2002, 08:42:54 AM: so yeah, I was wondering... Why do you think they call sneezes, sneezes? It doesnt make any sence. a cough sounds like a cough, a burp sounds like a burp. and a hickup sounds like a hickup.....I think we sould change it to the "ah choos"! whos with me?

Can anybody say spam?

Who cares why we call it a sneeze. We just do, so live with it.

Sorry about Caps Lock.. Bite me..

Anyway, where does HORNEY come from? Why are you HORNEY when you want to shoot your wad? Makes no sense to me and I can\'t find it anywhere on the net.

Post by: project86 on April 12, 2002, 12:04:25 PM: I find what resembles an upright horn in my trousers when I get overly exited but I don’t think that would explain “HORNEY” for woman.:D

Post by: nO-One on April 12, 2002, 12:42:13 PM: well I did find this after a 15 second google search.

Spotlight on...
Snout, Snort, Sniff, Snuff, Sniffle, Snuffle, Snore, Snitch, Sneeze, Snot...

What do all of these words have in common? Apart from beginning with sn-, they are all connected with the nose. It seems that all Indo-European languages share this property, so it makes sense to assume that there was an ancient Indo-European root *sna "nose". Even in Tibet sNa means nose. The word nose itself, along with its nasal relatives, may be part of this same complex, the n and s having changed places by a process which linguists call metathesis

Post by: Troglodyte on April 12, 2002, 04:33:31 PM: To Elaborate on nO-One\'s answer:

--------------------------

\\Sneeze\\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Sneezed; p. pr. & vb. n. Sneezing.] [OE. snesen; of uncertain origin; cf. D. snuse to sniff, E. neese, and AS. fne[\'o]san.]

[Middle English snesen, alteration of fnesen, from Old English fnosan. See pneu- in Indo-European Roots.]

--------------------------

It\'s got an unkown origin, but is has to do with the origin of the word, back to it\'s roots, etc.

Well don’t I feel stupid. I can’t find anything on the word “horney” and more than likely won’t have the time too.

I did find this though…

“Horny-handed” (a.) Having the hands horny and callous from labor.

Sounds like a condition that any kitten killer would have. Hmmmm, weird.;)

Post by: jinxx on April 13, 2002, 05:54:06 AM: I think that somebody *cough cough MPtheroy cough cough* needs help. no pun intended :) But I was once told that a sneeze has the energy at it\'s size equal to an atomc blast. I dunno if that is true but it sounds good.

Post by: project86 on April 13, 2002, 05:57:07 AM: One thing that is true about a sneeze is that it travels with a wind velocity of about 200-mile per hour. That is amazing!

And yes, MPTheory does need some help.;)

What are y\'all yappin\' about?

English is a stupid language, derived from a wealth of dead languages. Most words don\'t have a true, clear-cut origin.

My guess on horney is the relation to an erect horn, and then adding -ey to make it an adjective. As this is not an "old" word.

Tell you what Bobby Boy, If you can honestly tell me that you knew all of that about the origins of the word sneeze, than sure, I feel stupid now, if not, I guess were in the same boat.
