Thread Name: Folklore: Forbidden or unlucky words?
Subject: RE: Forbidden or unlucky words? (Mostly BS)
Why weren't trawlermen allowed to put out if they saw (a) a pig, (b) a priest, or (c) a woman on their way to the boat? Didn't they like fishing, or something? (That superstition is from East Scotland, I think)
