Ireneo_Funes Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 "Tup" is probably a variation of "top" (as a verb). Seen here in Othello, Act 1, Scene 1: IAGO: 'Zounds, sir, you're robb'd; for shame, put on your gown; Your heart is burst, you have lost half your soul; Even now, now, very now, an old black ram Is tupping your white ewe. Arise, arise; Awake the snorting citizens with the bell, Or else the devil will make a grandsire of you: Arise, I say. Here's the real linguistic mystery: is this 17th century relic the ancestor of our modern-day "schtupp"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireneo_Funes Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Yeah, it is. But I wouldn't be surprised if there was a common root between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selkirk Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I was just wondering if it was the other way around.... did the term tup grow out of sctupp? Were's CPB when you need an expert on these matters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L0ngpause Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yes Lyger, A murkin is necessary on those extra special days. On X-tremely, X-tra superdiduper special days, one may require a Ferkin-((n)equal to 9 imperial gallons) of murkins(pubic wigs). <--the brainchild of Lyger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyger Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 hey, I'm for shurkin that we've moved onto merkins. The great part is that you could be wearing a jerkin (n)- a tight fitting vest for those who like to show off heaving breasts. while eating a ferkin of gherkins (previously defined) in you merkin. I am quite keen on finding out where one could aquire a merkin, though I would hesitiate to wear one in polite society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klenke Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 The spelling is as Dru stated, with an 'e'. I thought I had seen the word before and sure enough I had. The pubic wig was not worn on the head like you might have guessed but over the groin region.

Dru Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I heard somewhere it was for those who were embarassed after they had had to shave to get rid of a pubic louse infestation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyger Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I've heard that prostitutes would wear then as a means of hiding unsightly sores (hazards of the job) that would deter potential clients. Unfortunatly prositutes of this day and age are not privy to such wonderfully useful accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
