I've always wondered how we picked the words that we've ended up with. If I had all the time in the world, I'd love to study word origins!

Haha well "Foo", I think they are called feet because they STINKKK haaha.
Feet in latin means "your feet stink, go get some foot deoderent" haha, actually I really don't know if it does or not but it should.
I have to get my hands on that damn latin dictionary.
Happy footings!
