pukey lukey

Ok, I have failed already!

I was going to try and do this every day but have not managed it! Today i have a great one!



I have spent a lot of my life being called names that rhyme with mine, 'puke' being one of them. Today i have found out where the birth of 'puke' came from



The first recorded use of the word 'puke' in the English language comes from William Shakespeare, who used it in the 'All the world's a stage' speech in As You Like It - where he refers to 'the infant, mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.'



Who knew puke was such a poetic word?
