I found out today that the word breech actually means "back side" or "hind end" which is why when a baby comes out the wrong way it is referred to as being breech.
So that got me wondering. I've often heard older people refer to underwear as "britches", and I wonder if that is just an evolution of the word breeches? Until now that word made no sense to me but I can see now where it probably came from.
So your assignment for the day is to find a way to work the word breech into you conversations, and I will not accept extra credit for calling the slow guy in front of you a breech-head or accusing him of having his head up his breech.
