Talk:peg

What about the sexual usage (neologism) listed on Wikipedia? I'm not sure what the convention is for neologisms. --zandperl 15:28, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

usage
Peg in the sense of to throw isn't exclusive to Hiberno English. Its fairly common here in Australia, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's used elsewhere. --Vladisdead 12:43, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

etymology, rarity of *b
> This is one of the very few words in English inherited directly from Proto-Indo-European to begin with a p due to the extreme rarity of *b in Proto-Indo-European, which became *p in Proto-Germanic as described by Grimm's law.

I can't make sense of that addage, without background knowledge. Is it me or is it really written badly? 91.66.13.99 19:07, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
