Smeg???? I asked a question as to whether?

Question

people thought that "But" was a negative word and the worst word in the English language? Some of the answers came back as "Smeg" being the worst word..........I stupidly had to ask my partner what this word "Smeg" meant! Now I feel sick.......and need to know how many of you disgusting boys have this?

Answer 1

Icky
I wont get involved when our horses are having it cleaned away.
I tend to leave it to the wife or my daughter. (I think it's the rubber gloves that do it)
and it's bloody amazing how far their arms disappear.
Have you ever seen a horse standing on tip-toe

Answer 2

Smeg (vulgarism)


Smeg is a mild vulgarism which is conjecturally a shortened version of the word "smegma." It gained greatly increased prominence through its use as a supposedly inoffensive expletive in the British sci-fi/sit-com Red Dwarf. The word was used to replace almost every vulgar term used in the show's conversations, with the exception of the very mild. Additionally, the word itself had many variants, including "smegging" and "smeghead"; it was also used in phrases like "smeg off", "for smeg's sake", and "smegging hell". The show's creators have continually claimed that they knew nothing of the word "smegma", and that "smeg" was entirely made up, sounding as it did like a generic, four-letter, single-syllable swear-word that might be used in the future (and so could be used in the programme in place of swear words that, at the time, would not usually be used in mainstream sitcoms).

Lexicographer Tony Thorne, in his 1990 Dictionary of Contemporary Slang (ISBN 0-7475-2856-X), reports instances of "smeg" (and derivatives) being used as a term of "mild contempt and even affection" among "schoolboys, students and punks" as early as the mid-1970s — a decade or so prior to the inception of the Red Dwarf phenomenon — and claims unequivocally that the etymology of the term traces back to "smegma".

In the "Let's Swear" item in Bachelor Boys, the Young Ones book, the character Rick, played by Rik Mayall, calls another character "smeg face".

Smegma itself is exfolliated skincells that gather under the foreskin of men or the vulva of women

Answer 3

Hi OK I've got to be honest here... I have No Idea what Smeg means...

The only time that I've ever heard that phrase being used is during a TV show called "Red Dwarf" as there's this guy "Lister" who is played by Craig Charles (he also commentates in Robot Wars!) and he uses that word constantly...

Apart from that I can honestly say again that I'm confuzzled to what it might mean and also I'm confuzzled and would like to know what your Question means? like what are you trying to say?

I might just have to look that word up as I hadn't realised it was a real word.

had thought it was just a word that someone had came up with like...

(((FLASHING LIGHT BULB)))

"I've just had an Enigma... *TA-DA...*
How about this word for the Show... *SMEG* " hehe...

What does Smeg mean anyway or don't I we to know??? =| ...

Like I'm assuming it's something GROSS!!! O.o'' ...
