>Old English terms include shi*, fuc*, and many others. People like to argue when using what we term swear (to use bad language) or cuss words, “they are just Old English terms defining bodily functions”! That is done to shock people and sometimes people use them because they cannot express themselves.

Oh, I see. But I still don't get is what you were driving at with "browser". For "browse", under
www.dictionary.com I only found things like "inspect something leisurely", "read superficially", and "graze" - nothing that remotely reminds me of "bodily functions", or something of the sort.
