Smash Mouth first formed in 1994 in San Jose, California. Steven Harwell was a veteran of a disbanded rap group called F.O.S. (who only released one single, only available on vinyl "Big Black Boots"). His former manager was Kevin Coleman. Harwell wanted to get a rock band together, so Coleman introduced him to friends; guitarist Greg Camp and bassist Paul De Lisle, both veterans of a local punk band called Lackadaddy. The band had the first rehearsal later, with Coleman on drums. They named themselves Smash Mouth after a football play, and played for the most part the then somewhat popular ska-punk, although Harwell c ...

Some say it may be derived from the phrase "by Our Lady", a sacrilegious invocation of the Virgin Mary. The abbreviated form "By'r Lady" is common in Shakespeare's plays around the turn of the 17th century, and interestingly Jonathan Swift about 100 years later writes both "it grows by'r Lady cold" and "it was bloody hot walking to-day" [1] suggesting that a transition from one to the other could have been under way. Others regard this explanation as dubious. Eric Partridge, in Words, Words, Words (Methuen, 1933), describes this as "p ...

Euphemisms can eventually become taboo words themselves through a process the linguist Steven Pinker has called the euphemism treadmill (cf. Gresham's Law in economics). Words originally intended as euphemisms may lose their euphemistic value, acquiring the negative connotations of their referents. In some cases, they may be used mockingly and become dysphemistic. For example the term "concentration camp" to describe camps used to house civilian prisoners was used by the British during the Second Boer War, primari ...

"Christ" has taken on such power and significance as a theological, religious and/or devotional term that it has been appropriated and/or expanded by various theologians and religious writers so as to take it beyond its merely Christian context. The development of Judeo/Christian religious concepts in a world religious context may be startling to the orthodox, but is part of the full picture and contemporary meaning of the term "Christ". Paramahansa Yogananda - writes about a "Christ Consciousness" interchangeably with "Krishna Cons ...

Fuck - Early usage. Its first known use as a verb meaning to have sexual intercourse is in "Flen flyys" (see above) some time before 1500. William Dunbar's 1503 poem "Brash of Wowing" includes the lines: "Yit be his feiris he wald haif fukkit:/ Ye brek my hairt, my bony ane." Some time around 1600, before the term acquired its current meaning, "windfucker" was an acceptable name for the bird now known as the kestrel. While Shakespeare never used the term explicitly, he hinted at it in comic s ...

What distinguishes doublespeak from other euphemisms is its deliberate usage by governmental, military, or corporate institutions. Doublespeak is in turn distinguished from jargon in that doublespeak attempts to confuse and conceal the truth, while jargon often provides greater precision to those that understand it (while inadvertently confusing those who do not). An example of the distinction is the use by the military of the word casualties instead of deaths — what may appear to be an attempt to hide the fact that people ha ...

Smash Mouth style and musical influence is a matter of debate by fans. Most people who only know the bands hit singles often label them as a 60's rip off pop band, however, the material on the bands albums is much more musically diverse. Most fans consider them to be one of those "change" bands who change styles from album to album. Fush Yu Mang, in most peoples eyes, was very stictly ska/hardcore with the exception of "Walkin' on The Sun", which earned t ...

The word euphemism comes from the Greek word euphemos, meaning "auspicious/good/fortunate speech" which in turn is derived from the Greek root-words eu (ευ), "good/well" + pheme (φήμη) "speech/speaking". The eupheme was originally a word or phrase used in place of a religious word or phrase that should not be spoken aloud (see taboo). The primary example of taboo words requiring the use of a euphemism are the unspeakable names for a deity, such as Persephone, Hecate, Nemesis or Yahweh. By speaking only words favorable to the gods or spirits, the speaker attempted to procure good fortun ...

The term "Christ" is often used synonymously with "Jesus". A difference in usage is sometimes for variety of speech, and sometimes a subtlety intended to emphasize the totality of His person and function in Salvation. For example, Ott refers to "Jesus" when emphasizing an event in the New Testament, while he refers to "Christ" in discussing the nature of God. There is a temporal distinction between "Jesus" and "Christ", not to mention "God". God, in the Christian belief system, exists outside of the time continuum and is not restricted by the confin ...

The spelling Christ in English dates from the 17th century, when, in the spirit of the enlightenment, spellings of certain words were changed to fit their Greek or Latin origins. Prior to this, in Old and Middle English, the word was spelt Crist, the i being pronounced either as a long e, preserved in the names of churches such as St Katherine Cree, or as a short i, preserved ...
