King James quotes King David
If, by morning, I leave any that pisses against the wall”
I was taught as a child that piss was a vulgar word,
not to be used by persons of good breeding
or polite nature. So you can imagine my surprise
to discover these words in my young teenage years.
A king using such language? If it is permissible for a king
to talk like this, why not a pleb?
Still, I have never felt free to use this word.
I suppose parental admonition is stronger than royal decree.
