ecky thump isnt made up, its a northern expression from england, its an exclamation of surprise sort of "by ecky thump" bit weird if you ask me [img]tongue.gif[/img]
and yep might have been python, but nooooooo i think just remembering it was kryten in red dwarf, with a random stream from when his circuits went funny, no idea which episode, that sounds like it [img]tongue.gif[/img] btw i also use ay up which is another northern expression, but im not northern [img]tongue.gif[/img] |

by that logic all words are "made up" [img]tongue.gif[/img] ecky thump is as much a northern expression (albeit a dated one) as saying "good morning to you" all language is made up anyhows [img]tongue.gif[/img] amazing we got past grunts and pointing [img]smile.gif[/img]

yep definately madeup [img]smile.gif[/img] and it is python too, its from holy grail cant remember which part, also something in red dwarf [img]smile.gif[/img]
and ecky thump does have a meaning just not a completely clear one, "by ecky thump" is like saying "by god" its swearing by something. |

In that case, it has a USE not a meaning - and shouldn't it be "boi 'ecky thoomp"
