How did people make up words? Like spoon, for example. Did someone just hold up a spoon and randomly say,"SPOON." so from then on everyone called it a spoon. That would be weird. I WILL NOW DECLARE A NEW WORD.

word: Derfurd

Meaning: loser dorky people that nobody likes and are crazy and annoying and mean.

Languages kinda developed on their own.

MusicForever · May 23, 2008

Me and my friend ask that...

It's a mystery...

Fire.Fly · May 24, 2008

princess08 · May 24, 2008

maybe john idiot lol

wildcat_gal_101 · May 24, 2008

Yeah..

I wonder how they developed swear words. xD

-lWeride · May 24, 2008

Yeah..I wonder how they developed swear words. xD

I think they developed swear words by making words that mean the same thing as words at would offend somebody.

For example, The F word means the same thing as s#x. The word s*** means the same as Poo.

How did they come up with the numbers too? Or the alphabet?! Ahhh,my brain hurts.

Alimania · May 24, 2008

Jeez we're all so IGNORANT!

I personally don't believe in swears. They're just words! Besides emotionally, how can they harm someone? If someone said a swear, would a knife just randomly strike the person in the head...?

I wonder where the word "balloon" came from. I mean, seriously. Balloon....??

pachirisu_rocks · May 24, 2008

I'll use Defurd though

tama 3445521508 · May 24, 2008

Gosh, now my head hurts. My bf made up a word! it's kind of an acronym:

Pandy · May 25, 2008

The alphabet came from Latin, I think. [=

Languages can be wierd....I think of that sometimes...

redtama · May 25, 2008

I don't really know. Like someone just saw a Tiger like animal and called it cat.

I think some of our lang. come from some Latin words. :3

ljr1996tamagotchifreakboy · May 25, 2008

Well languages I'm guessing are based on very old languages then they developped. Like English words, like plants has Latin words in them. Alphabet has Alpha and Beta (without the a) in it which are the first two letters in the Greek Alphabet. So languages are based on other lanuages and I'm guessing that orginally there was one language.

redtama · May 25, 2008

Most words do come from other langs.

Ex:

The word Trombone derives from the Italian Tromba(Trumpet) and one-(a suffix meaning "large") so it means Large Trumpet. :3 Tromba+one, take off the "a" in Tromba. Tromb+one=Trombone. =3
