"corrupt"'s actually from "cum"--THAT IS A GENUINE LATIN WORD, NO SNICKERING, BOYS AND GIRLS--meaning "with" or "all together", plus "rumpare"--THAT IS ALSO A GENUINE LATIN WORD--meaning "break"; "corrumpare" means "to break to pieces" and the definition evolved from there.

Oh, I wasn't bringing that up as an MJ-alignment issue. I don't think Forrest has any desire to knock MJ. Just an example. Lessee..."Berel the Unworthy isn't the same as the Berel who stirred up a mess of spiders, dammit! Screw MWA!"

That's better.
