I’ll drink to that (and so will Bung).

paraphrasing Ghandi’s great remark during his first visit to London, when he was asked how he liked western culture …

And me and Andy Capp too Runar! LOL

Heck comes from hex, so rather a wonderful idea. :D

Or, as good comes from God, a good idea

ethics?! The government would consider ethics?

I have to disabuse you of that notion, CoronellaKeiper:

From Middle English, from Old English god (“‘supreme being, deity’”), Old High German got (a rank of deity), both from the Proto-Germanic ǥuđa-, *ǥuđan, from the Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰuto- (“‘that which is invoked’”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵhau- (“‘to call, to invoke’”) or * *ǵheu- (“‘to pour’”). Not related to the word good*.

Coronella, heck and hex are completely unrelated. You are preachy and full of kindly-meant platitudes, but as an etymologist, you suck.

Ah, but good comes from the word god.

Ohh yeeeah!

BUUUURN!
