Caveman 2: We Two! - RyeBrye, on 02/27/2009, -3/+72Those are among the only words my 2 year old can say. I guess he's got a thing for the classics.

- dullnation, on 02/27/2009, -2/+46People making up words and those words catching on is how languages evolve.
I servically believe this. - AlienMushroom, on 02/27/2009, -3/+44SAT would be so easy back then.
- seedsofwar, on 02/27/2009, -2/+39"stick" and "bad" are likely to become extinct? yeah... alright. now this analysis is suspect.
- TheBadWolf, on 02/27/2009, -3/+39I know someone's going to complain about your use of "Servically," but it's a perfectly cromulent word.
- ionelementz112, on 02/27/2009, -1/+36Future Facebook group: When I was your age, "bad" was a word.

***** - therippa, on 02/27/2009, -7/+28Can't be true, the world is only 6,000 years old according to the english books approved by the state of Kansas
- richmomz, on 02/27/2009, -0/+20The reading comprehension portion was easy, but the hunting/gathering portion was a BITCH.
- inactive, on 02/27/2009, -0/+20I think the word stick has just died.
- RyeBrye, on 02/27/2009, -1/+21I disrespect you.
- amauldin71, on 02/27/2009, -5/+23They told me in sunday school they were "In the beginning..."
***** liars. - d3athr1d3r, on 02/27/2009, -2/+20What will we call sticks when the word stick is dead??
- Berkana, on 02/27/2009, -0/+17I don't speak Cantonese, only Mandarin, but if I had to guess based on observation, I'd say it is impossible to whisper in Cantonese.
( ^_~ ...no offense to my unbearably loud Canto bros, I'm just sayin'. ) - idavidtang, on 02/27/2009, -0/+14I'm Cantonese and I approve of this reply.
- dullnation, on 02/27/2009, -1/+13TheBadWolf, glad to hear of your gradtudality
- Hockey13, on 02/27/2009, -1/+13Disrespect is a perfectly cromulent word.
- kiiwii, on 02/27/2009, -0/+11I think captnkurt means:
Q: What's brown and chazzwazzery?
A: A chazzwazzer - harrythe3rd, on 02/27/2009, -0/+11Fart

***** - Praystation, on 02/27/2009, -3/+13The most ancient pickup line : " I think WE TWO should become WE THREE "
- RyeBrye, on 02/27/2009, -1/+11Where we are apparently more racially sensitive.
- captnkurt, on 02/27/2009, -0/+10The word will never die as long as we have this riddle:
Q: What's brown and sticky?
A: A stick - Dreamstate, on 02/27/2009, -0/+9Yes, it's quite a cervix.
- inactive, on 02/27/2009, -0/+9My research indicates that the oldest English words are "Let's *****".
- dvicklund, on 02/27/2009, -0/+8What?
- inactive, on 02/27/2009, -6/+13The model maybe a bit notgood but it seems fairly accurate.
- Herostratus, on 02/27/2009, -0/+7How about branch or bough, twig, shoot, stem and that was just off the top of my head.
I think you people need to read more... - idavidtang, on 02/27/2009, -3/+10For those of us who are wondering what's Chinese Whispers, it's known as playing Telephone or Telephone Charades here in the states.
- sabach, on 02/27/2009, -0/+7I suspect you might not be aware of the cultural reference here...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Words_You_C ... - Demonhawk, on 02/27/2009, -1/+7What's funny is that I was just bored and for the last hour I've been reading up on etymology for common English words. Then I hop on digg and this is on the front page
- mmcwhorter, on 02/27/2009, -0/+6William was not English.
- inactive, on 02/27/2009, -3/+9Pure Grub Fish!
- weatherman5000, on 02/27/2009, -0/+5Tell that to Shakespeare. He never made any words up .
- InYourHonor, on 02/27/2009, -0/+5I is to we as two is to ____?
A.) Three
B.) 3
C.) Tier 3 Armor
D.) none or all of the above
nope still hard
the correct answer is C tho - BellaVitaGirl, on 02/27/2009, -0/+4Aww come on people don't you read your 1984??
@ChaseUtleyWampa: I dugg you. - JustFender, on 02/27/2009, -0/+3...what is this word 'stick'?
- mjparme, on 02/27/2009, -1/+4Why? Because your analysis shows that "stick" and "bad" aren't likely to become extinct?
- ZombieKiss, on 02/27/2009, -2/+5"Wow, you're an idiot."
-Likely every person who has ever met you.

see above - brooklotzkar, on 02/27/2009, -0/+3I wonder which came first though: I or We.
- Bakorork, on 02/27/2009, -0/+3Loser. You decided to waste your life on here?

Related viewing. - piesforyou, on 02/27/2009, -0/+3It sounds like a bad idea to me. They should stick at it, maybe they can squeeze some better conclusions out of their work.
- inactive, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2I agree. "twig" and "*****" will replace them.
- ostracize, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2That's right, you stick it to the man.
- zephc, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2Massively fascinating: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_l ...
- lostlyrics, on 02/27/2009, -1/+3globally you'll find the "mlk" combo as one most mutual
milk, mleka, milch - certainly very archaic a probability :)
"ti(c)" (two you etc.) seems also to be an early common
and the sound carrying farthest is the "KEE-OOO" shout
(hard attack, yoodle/police-sirene sustain, and long decay) - roobin, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2I read somewhere that the word or sound: shh (hush) is global and that you can find it in almost every culture. So that one could be the oldest.
- SarcasticEye, on 02/27/2009, -0/+2You don't really need a word for one until you have words for two or three I would have thought, then it becomes rather necessary. Pretty mind boggling trying to imagine language without such concepts so I could be talking crap.
