No, I didn't hurt myself but I was wondering recently where that word came from. What's its origin?
Who said it first?
Do you think it was uttered by a caveman when he bonked his head while entering or exiting his cave?
Did Eve scream it when she stubbed her toe on that damn apple tree?
Do people who speak other languages say "ouch" when they sustain an injury?
I'm also thinking that "ouch" may be reserved for the minor boo-boo and the F-bomb is brought forth for the big stuff.
I'd love to hear from people who speak other languages - what do you say when you pinch your finger in the door?
