It's because they don't give a drat twice as much as the average thumbed animal.

Now that's a man with four thumbs.
One on each of his hands, and two on the sides of his dumb face.

Thumbs are only half of the equation. The other half is a brain big enough to find a cure for chlamydia. If koalas had brains like us, they’d be the apex species no question.

"rear end" is derived from "arse", and originally meant "ears", but later became a butt euphemism. Hence the 'jackass' getting named after its huge ears.


This means the children's song 'do your ears hang low' is a sanitized version of the original song, asking if you're so dummy thick your rear end cheeks clapping alerts the british army

The "can you throw 'em over your shoulder like a continental soldier" part is how I as a kid decided that the song was probably about balls.

Continental (European) soldiers carried their rifles up over their shoulders when marching in formation. Its not the testicles, it’s the location of the testicles.

in some variants it's a regimental soldier and in others it's not a soldier at all. why is it ever a continental soldier? because that fits the rhythm and close-enough-to-rhymes with shoulder.

The continent is the rest of Europe to the British Isles, so a continental soldier is a soldier from the continent. They often don't like continentals so they are making fun of them for having balls so droopy they can through them over their shoulder.

The word "assassin" for someone who commits a targeted murder of a public figure is derived from the Order of Assassins, a militant order of Shia militants who operated in secret in Syria and Persia in the medieval period using targeted killings of leaders to further their ideals. They were so called because their operatives would carry hidden blades up their bunghole (or rear end) so it could not be detected by a conventional search allowing them to pose as courtiers and messengers to get closer to their targets. Eventually this caused Ahmad Sanjar, Sultan of the Seljuk empire, to invent the first body cavity searches.

The singer in "What's Going On?" by 4 Non Blonds (The songs with the the chorus of "and I say hey-yay-yay what's going on?") is a woman. It had always sounded like a male voice with a high register.
