i want u guys to know that the university of sussex is constantly graffiti’d with among us crewmates and that the university keep desperately trying to clean it off but some hero with chalk keeps going back for more. the university sign has a permanent stain on the ‘sus’ of sussex
in case you don’t believe me here is photographic evidence
this is an entirely serious institution
The thing is
Essex = east sex
Sussex = south sex
Middlesex = still recognisable in modern English
Wessex = west sex, currently composed of Wiltshire/Somerset/Dorset etc
Someone explain the lack of north sex (Nosex)
Norfolk = north fuck
It’s just a different dialect
then why do we have both a Sussex and a Suffolk?? explain
There are also six River Avons
“then why do we have both a Sussex and a Suffolk?? explain”
It’s because their names predate England- the county name Sussex comes from the Saxon kingdom of Sussex (South Saxons, because it’s the southernmost Saxon kingdom), which was then annexed by (and became a county of) Wessex in around 827CE, which eventually merged with a bunch of other kingdoms to become England.
Meanwhile, Suffolk was never its own kingdom, but along with Norfolk it was part of East Anglia- the part, sensibly enough, that formed that country’s southern border, hence why it was known as South Fuck despite being further north than Sussex by quite a bit. East Anglia then merged with Mercia, which like Sussex was eaten up by Wessex- but at that point, both counties had established names, so Big Wessex That Later Turned Into Englaland Which Evolved Into England now had two counties that were called South something, despite one not really being all that southern.
Fuck on top, sex on bottom, got it
