Used in a sentence a la Shakespeare: "Sh!ts and Giggles, Sh!ts and Giggles, Wherefore art thou Sh!ts and Giggles?"
First, let's remember our Shakespeare ... I'm asking WHY and not WHERE when I use WHEREFORE, as I feel fairly confident in my skills on finding appropriate places in which I can produce either plural noun referenced above.
As I rushed to the bathroom with a painful gas bubble the other night, my mind did wander to that phrase, as I was most certainly sh!tting, but I had absolutely nothing about which to giggle. Truth be told, I have had an attack of breaking wind that reduced me to giggles due to its musicality, but I don't ever recall having a giggle-fit whilst defecating.
Yet clearly, someone somewhere coined the phrase, and found great humorous delight in his (or her -- but this sounds more like a guy thing, let's face the fecal facts) scatological endeavors such that the phrase lives on in our vernacular. But can anyone tell me wherefore?
