Am I right that some swear words related to female parts were actually names of fish?

Could you please give us some examples..............

Growing up in the 70s, I have to admit, was very sexist indeed and I cringe sometimes when I think about it. Terms like, "have you seen the haddock on that" and "you don't get many monkfish to the pound" were common place.lol

Not sure about that. Most originated from Germanic languages and only became swear words during Puritan times.

Good morning. I'm loving all the origin of swear words - mostly because I love how language evolves over time. The C word has been around since the 13th Century, and naughty was once quite a bad word. ' Thou naughty knave' in one of Shakespeare's plays caused quite a stir.
My favourite story ( but probably an urban legend) is that the two finger salute originated at the battle of Agincourt. The French would chop off the fingers of captured English archers. The English archers in response would wave two fingers at the French showing that they could still ' pluck yew'. Yew,of course, being the wood longbows were made of. You can guess what pluck yew eventually morphed into.
