Get the yardbird mug.Yardbird is a very old English and New American term for an ill bred game cock.
As far back as the 1600's or earlier in England nobles fought game roosters. These were carefully bred gamecocks, the offspring of highly bred hens mated to winning well bred roosters.
In order to train these roosters, the nobles would take the rooster at 1 year old to one of many country farms. The bird would be turned loose in the barnyard and left there for 1-2 years to grow and mature. There would always be hens at the barnyard that were of unknown breeding. The hens would lay their eggs out in the weeds and hatch out chicks from the rooster. The males would grow up and of course appear to be gamecocks but would either not be game or would be very inferior.
These roosters were referred to as "Yardbirds". The term grew to mean a person of bad breeding, a convict, a lowlife.
This is the true story of "Yardbird" as a deragoty term.

Get the yardbitch mug.In addition to launching the careers of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, The Yardbirds morphed directly into Led Zeppelin in late 1968. Jimmy Page was the only member of the Yardbirds left when the 3 remaining original members quit the group in mid 1968. Jimmy replaced them with John Paul Jones John Bonham and Robert Plant and continued playing concert dates. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, in late 1968 Jimmy decided to rename the band. Recalling a conversation he had sometime before about a fantasy supergroup that would probably go over like a "lead balloon" he chose the name lead zeppelin but changed the spelling to Led Zeppelin to avoid any mis pronouncing.

Get the The Yardbirds mug.Yarbish is a language, or way of speaking. Common Yarbish words include, "yarb" "boy" "jeah" "fuck" "shit" or any other profanity (many urban dictionary terms: such as "narb"). An appropriate way to speak Yarbish would be to use the dialect of the "Unforgivable" guy or the "Terrets" guy from YouTube. Speaking Yarbish is a good way to bullshit with friends and not give a fuck. (The key is to use unnecssary swearing).
"Aw, jeah boy! I gave her somethin' real nice!"
"I don't give a fuck!"
"Shut your bitch, faggot."
"Boy, if you don't start speakin' Yarbish, I'm gonna give you some NSR."
"Shit yeah!! I got another god damn narb!"
"I don't give a fuck!"
"Shut your bitch, faggot."
"Boy, if you don't start speakin' Yarbish, I'm gonna give you some NSR."
"Shit yeah!! I got another god damn narb!"
