“Not all students who menstruate are female” – Minnesota House Rep. Sandra Feist
Isn’t “Feist” and old Austrian family name that meant “fucking village idiot” back in the eighteenth century?”
Nah, just means ‘fat’ in German,
but I take your point
Heh heh. Actual etymology is better and more fitting for her than my made up stuff:
feist (n.)
also fist, “a breaking wind, foul smell, fart,” mid-15c.
feisty (adj.)
1896, “aggressive, exuberant, touchy,” American English, with -y (2) + feist “small dog,” earlier fice, fist (American English, 1805); short for fysting curre “stinking cur,” attested from 1520s, with present participle of now-obsolete Middle English fysten, fisten “break wind” (mid-15c.), from Proto-Germanic *fistiz “a fart,” said to be from PIE *pezd- (see fart), but there are difficulties.
