"Fuck you/V sign" This folk etymology centers on archers who had their middle fingers removed in medieval times to keep them from properly aiming their arrows. English longbow archers caught by the enemy at Agincourt supposedly would have had their bow fingers amputated, since at that time the longbow was a devastating weapon and gave a great tactical advantage to the English. The unaffected archers could taunt the enemy by raising their index and middle fingers to show they were still intact and that the archers could still effectively "pluck yew". However, this story is untrue.
(See the origins of the V sign for further discussion.)
The word "crap" did not originate as a back-formation of British plumber Thomas Crapper's surname, nor does his name originate from the word "crap", although the surname may have helped popularize the word.[7][8] The surname "Crapper" is a variant of "Cropper", which originally referred to someone who harvestedcrops.[9][10] The word "crap" ultimately comes from Medieval Latincrappa, meaning "chaff".[11]
The word "shit" did not originate as an acronym for "Ship High in Transit", a label falsely said to have been used on shipments of manure to prevent them from becoming waterlogged and releasing explosive methane gas.[3][12] The word comes from Old Englishscitte, and is of Proto-Germanic origin.[13][14]
