love it… shame it’s so true
That’s an insult to fish wives!
Hahaha! So it’s a ‘bring and share’ ?
I need the remedial course in fish wifery as I don’t even know what it tis.
Hi Laura, actually I don’t know where the term fish wife came from but basically it’s used as a name for someone who loves to gossip!
Thanks Jon:)
Sonia – here’s hopin you’ve not been on the sharp end of such verbal incontinence
Keep well
Pat
Our neighbouring vicar calls the parish ‘knit and natter’ group the ‘stich and bitch’ group – I have no idea if it deserves that title, but it makes be giggle.
great phrase Pat ‘verbal incontinence’
I never came across this when I went to church though there’s b+tches/b+stards everywhere. But there is such a thing as good goss, you know?
As in, what’s the latest. Not undermining.
Soniamain – re fish wifery – do you know that for a fact or did you hear it on the grapvine!
Ogg- heard it at my local church:)
Had to look the word up–>
“Fishwife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the women who sell fish. For the rock band, see Fishwife (band).
Statue of the Nairn Fishwife. Fishwives were often the wives of fishermen.
A fishwife or fish fag[1] is a woman who sells fish.[2] In this context, the word wife means woman rather than married woman.[3] This usage stems from Old English wif (woman) and is akin to the German weib, also meaning “woman”. This sense of the word is still used in Modern English in constructions such as midwife and old wives’ tale.
Fish women were notoriously loud and foul-mouthed as in the expression, To swear like a fishwife. One reason for their outspokenness is that their wares were highly perishable and so lost value if not sold quickly.[4]“
Hmm, “… is that their wares were highly perishable and so lost value if not sold quickly.[4]“
” is not all that far from “… is that their tales were highly perishable and so lost value if not told quickly.[4]“”
Haha! good point, Forrest!
