Etymology of the Word "dam_n"
By Gary Amirault
The words "dam_n" and "hel_l" are among favorite words spoken by theologians of the "hel_l-fire" type, that is, as long as they are used in church. These same words used in the local bar or on the athletic field would constitute "cussing" which would not be considered proper. If you are a little uncomfortable even reading about the word "dam_n" just remember the "Authorized" King James Bible uses it quite frequently. Let us look into the etymology of this word "dam_n." We may find some interesting surprises.
The Dictionary of Word Origins written by John Ayto and published in 1990 states the following about the word "dam_n":
dam_n: dam_n comes via Old French "damner" from Latin "damnare," a derivative of the noun "damnum." This originally meant 'loss, harm' (it is the source of the English 'damage'), but the verb damnare soon spread its application to 'pronounce judgment upon,' in both the legal and the theological sense. These meanings (reflected also in the derived 'condemn') followed the verb through Old French into English, which dropped the strict legal sense around the 16th century but has persisted with the theological one and its more profane offshoots. Condemn, damage, indemnity.As we can see, originally the word was neither a "cuss" word nor did it have theological significance. It was a perfectly good word with which to translate the Biblical Greek words "apollumi," "krino," and "apolleia." But when theologians twisted this word out of its original meaning, it became a word which would smear the character of our Father. The world followed the church and used it as a "cuss" word, but it should be noted, that it was the church that turned it into its present meaning, not unbelievers.

Last nights performance was lacklustre , and that's putting it mildly

Once again Rafa continues to bemuse us
. Liverpool's passing in midfield was very sloppy and the game was crying out for Alonso to come on and make some decent passes. Why did he waited until the 83rd minute to bring Crouch on ??????. Even now if we win all out remaining games we are still relying on other teams dropping points and to be honest it might be a blessing in disguise if we get knocked out in the group stages ( as long as we don't finish 3rd and qualify for the UEFA cup ).
Regarding Hyypia , Liverpool fans and Rafa knew about 12 months ago his time was up , he was given a contract and was expected to be 4th choice. When some canny sh1t of a scotsman scuppered our bid for Heinze we were all of a sudden short at the back and everyone was saying what would happen if either Carragher or Agger got injured , well Agger broke his metatarsal and in stepped Hyypia
. And what happened was 2 own goals in 2 games , plus poor performances throughout from Hyypia
.
We need a quality centre back in January , we need Torres to never be injured again and we need Steven Gerrard to re-discover his best form
.
If all the above happens then Liverpool (and Rafa) will be alright
