    Fjord = river!!?? Never knew that was possible.

    Surely ford = ford?

    Where do you think the word ford comes from? The Norse word fjord.

    Naked man refused sex and sat on lover’s face

    By Ann Healy

    A NAKED man sat on a woman’s face to humiliate her because she goaded him over his lack of "balls" when he refused to have sex with her.
    The Polish couple, who met on Facebook, had been having sex four or five times a day during their six-month liaison before the man snapped one night and told her he was tired, his nipples were sore and he didn’t want to have sex.

    Lukasz Szutowski, aged 27, of 13 Ocean Drive, Oranmore, Co Galway, denied assaulting Katarzyna Malabis, causing her harm, at his home on September 26 last year.

    Ms Malabis told Galway District Court this week that she sustained a back injury when Szutowski threw her onto his bed and sat on her face while he was naked from the waist down. She said she asked him if he was going to rape her. He became outraged and ordered her out.

    Ms Malabis said they had been at a wedding that day and there was a misunderstanding between them in his bedroom that night. She became uncomfortable and decided to go home. She claimed Szutowski took her phone and car keys and would not let her leave.

    Ms Malabis said that Szutowski threw her on to the bed and she felt something snap in her back. She began to cry and he then sat on her face. She said she was glad she asked him if he was going to rape her because he then got off her and threw her out.

    The woman said she was so terrified she climbed out a window to get away. She went to hospital the next day and was put in a back brace for a crushed vertebrae.

    In his statement, Szutowski said Ms Malabis was very drunk at the wedding and kept throwing herself at him.

    "She wanted sex when we got to my house. She started getting mad and was going to drive home. I took the keys off her because she was drunk. She told me I had no balls because I wouldn’t have sex with her. I pushed her onto the bed and sat on her stomach to calm her down."

    Szutowski denied he sat naked on the woman’s face to humiliate her.

    Judge Mary Fahy said she believed the accused sat on Ms Malabis’s face to humiliate her.

    "It’s a sickening part of the case that he did that but he was charged with assault and not sexual assault," she said, before convicting Szutowski of assault and fining him €750.

    That's up for debate. It seems to be considered to have come from a similar Old English word, but obviously there's going to be lots of different influences on a word's meaning, with a bit of Lating ("portus" for "port" and the Old English "faran" for "to go").

    It now means "river crossing." I'd imagine that's where Swinford got its name from: a ford where pigs could be brought across the river easily.

    So close-ish to "pig river."

    I'm feeling a bit pedantic at the moment.
