Maria Caliban Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 The fact that it's a back-formation has nothing to do with your original statement that it was not a word. As for uncouth being a word longer than couth. Okay, but uncouth comes from uncuth which comes from cuth, the Middle English term for 'known'. I hope you're not suggesting that couth is somehow invalid because it disappeared from the English language for awhile. "When is this out.

EnderAndrew Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Ain't it said that you can't say that ain't ain't a word anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Caliban Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 The odd thing about ain't is that it came out at around the same time as won't and don't. Personally, I think there was an anti-ain't conspiracy in the 17 hundreds that drove the word underground. But ain't is a ninja. Ain't survives. Ain't has sprung back up in the light of a new millennium and shall now run free like the bufflo! "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.

EnderAndrew Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Except it's legal to raise buffalo for slaughter these days. I've been to a place that only serves buffalo. Thank you for flying tangental airlines. Death, or cake? I'll have the donuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria Caliban Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 We're out of the cake. Well, do you have any chicken? I've had buffalo. It's pretty tasty. Ergo, ain't is tasty. Ha! I take your tangent and make it significant. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
