I took an arrow to the knee...

Is actually old Norse slang for getting married. It makes so much more sense now, knowing that only a slim third of guards literally got shot in the knee.

:cool:

How you think I found out Holmes?

If you want a source, google "Arrow to the knee Norse slang" or "arrow to the knee meaning" and take your pick.

All those threads are hearsay - somebody reads it and posts it elsewhere, just like you did. Doesn't make it fact.

There's hasn't been reputable source offered - eg a university, a historical discussion site, an encycolpaedia - in the threads.

Just saying that its not a new discovery.

Get a linguist to back it and then I'll believe what it means.

One of these happened

1. Peopel actually looked it up and its true

2. Someone came up with it as a joke.

Supposedly someone found it out and posted it on the internet (I can't remember where) saying that the "arrow to the knee" was just slang for marriage. Its been on numerous sites from what I've seen.

There are threads about this on other websites dating back to december 2011. For some reason it's being recycled now - this is the fourth thread (at least) here in the last couple of days. :shrug:

Goodness gracious! It's 'IN'! 'IN the knee'! Not 'TO'! Arrows don't go TO a knee!

Seriously, haven't any of you guys taken Physics and Zoology?!

*Shrug* Someone probably found it and thought it was correct thus reposted. Now that its been reposted people are once again thinking its true.
