English dictionary realises benefits of a cwtch
Aug 11 2005

IT'S one of the nations's favourite words, and symbolises that warm feeling that only closeness to a loved one can create.

Now we each have another reason to give someone a cwtch today, after the word was entered in the concise Oxford Dictionary of English for the first time.

So whether you are curled up on the settee, having a lie-in, or as our picture shows, admiring Rodin's Kiss statue (perhaps it should be renamed Rodin's cwtch), why not make time to give someone special a little cwtch.

In the dictionary cwtch, which has long been a familiar word in the Welsh language, was given two definitions: noun (Welsh) 1. a cupboard or cubbyhole. 2. a cuddle or hug.

...The word has its origins in the Middle English word "couche" which meant a resting or hiding place. It was then adopted into the Welsh language to mean a cupboard. But Mr Shearing said the word's origins also lie in the french word "coucher" which means to lie down. There are also early recordings of people telling their dogs to "cwtch in the corner". But during this century the word has also taken on the meaning to hug.

...The first recorded use of cwtch in English was during the 1920s and Elizabeth Taylor was also recorded as saying about Richard Burton, "I just want to go and cwtch him."

(Cultural historian Peter Stead): "I have always used it in both its senses, a cupboard and a hug. When I first met my wife I often used to say, 'let's have a cwtch' and she was always very amused by it. And since then it's become part of our domestic life.

..."I think we are an emotional and sentimental nation of people. We do like hugging and we are very tactile not only with family but in public life as well. When I am meeting a friend, even if its a politician, we will often hug. The world definitely needs more cwtching."

Both Arabs and Jews are semites.

Hey Bob , can you look over the semitics of this loan package, I want to make sure we are charging him as much as possible.

I don't like the semitics of this loans terms, it sounds too much like the Jews have started a mafia.

Understanding the semitics we can see that this particular bank will not allow you to obtain a loan until you have completed 200 hours of synagogue, have a circumcision and at least $10,000 dollars cash after making your down payment.

After learning about semitics I finally understood it is better to buy things with CASH that way I can jew them down to a better price

Semitics Semantics they are all the same either way you will pay 87% Interest above the total cost of the loan.

That bank is ran by a bunch of Semitics.
