Fun fact, "rear end" meaning butt is a corruption of "arse," where I had always assumed the opposite. Shakespeare is partly responsible for it meaning butt.

The word comes from a protoindoeuropean root, sonething like 'ors' (meaning butt) and has cognates in German, Norse, Greek and even Hittite. Shakespeare has nothing to do with it.

Doesn't one of his plays have the first recorded "your mom" joke?

Probably nowhere near the first, but...

Demetrius: Villain, what hast thou done?
Aaron: That which thou canst not undo.
Chiron: Thou hast undone our mother.
Aaron: Villain, I have done thy mother.

And yes, that means exactly what it does in the modern sense.

Take the plunge! Okay!

We have a fragment of one from 3500 BCE. Sadly, it lacks the punchline. This one was recorded in the 4th century CE but probably dates from a few centuries earlier:

quote:

Some provincial man has come to Rome, and walking on the streets was drawing everyone's attention, being a real double of the emperor Augustus. The emperor, having brought him to the palace, looks at him and then asks:
-Tell me, young man, did your mother come to Rome anytime?
The reply was:
-She never did. But my father frequently was here.

I'd like to think this all started with some reptile sunning himself on a rock in the morning then looking over and finding his buddy skittering out lazily from the nearby burrow. Shocked he looks at his buddy, forks his tongue and raises his head asking, "What were you doing in my house this early in the morning?". His buddy stomps his hind feet rhythmically, wags his tail up and down, hangs his mouth open, and rolls his eyes toward the sky in response: "Your mom".

How do you say, "Yeah, I eat rear end.", in Hittite?

Right, arse has its roots there. rear end is a different word entirely that means donkey. Shakespeare made a joke in Midsummer Night's Dream about how rear end sounds like arse and that's partly why we use rear end to mean butt.

Here's a very fancy essay on the matter:

The once they posted is from 400CE and has a punchline. There is a different one from ~4000 years before that we don't have the punchline for, and which they did not post.

No it's 8x4. Length x girth. I don't really follow football so I don't know if he's a receiver. I know they use yards, but I'm gonna hope they mean inches.

(I guess some of the guys just have single digits, which is just the minimum number needed in the dogpile, other dimensions be damned.)
