So have I, and during that time I've found that most women are fucking nut cases.

Read the OP -'wind up'.
Followed the link read it 'wind up'
But is it? Why do all the women have made up sounding names?

All names are made up aren't they? There is no such thing as a "Phil". I'll be corrected, but I've always assumed my name was just "made up".

All words are made up.

I know where you are coming from mate. But, for instance the word meeow (the sound made by a cat) isn't made up is it? Have you got a ruling?

That’s made up by the cat isn’t it? I’ve been called quite a few imaginative made up names in my time most of which cannot be repeated in polite company.

I'll bow to your CatFacts. But, I feel the cat makes that sound involuntarily, it doesn't choose to make it, it hasn't made it up, it just issues from within. But, you're my Go To cat guy, so maybe I'm wrong.

Why is a desk called a desk? Why isn't it called a chair?
As you can imagine, the questions go on and on and on..... at which stage I usually scream 'Why the feck does it matter, just accept it' and I walk out the room to the sound of 'And a cat. Why is a cat called a cat and not a dog?'
And you wonder why I am completely bonkers?

I’ve always suspected that onomatopoeic words were some of our earliest. Does every language use the word ‘meeow’ though? It’s an approximation of the noise a cat makes. Similarly what Chinese for ‘bang’ or ‘crash’? Is it the same? If not, then they’re made up words.

The answer is always the same though, unless it’s obviously not. Onomatopoeia is simple, it’s humans trying to recreate a sound they’ve heard. The rest is simply ‘at some time in the past someone decided to name something and the name stuck’. We started by naming things that already existed and then had to start naming the things we invented. Why we decided on a particular noise like ‘chair’ is anyone’s guess.

You obviously don't know Mrs NYB. Sensible answers are not the answer.

Words are a social construct, don't conform.

If ever a thread has degenerated into 'the season can't start soon enough', this is it.

Let's be hearing them then.

Theres plenty of unanswered things that go on every day like why when it rains does one get wet if your stood outside in it and why does grass grow green and not forgetting that when the sun comes out why is it warmer ? The list goes on
