Let's jump right into it- Fisto! is going to be a culture and lifestyle website, a window to the pop-culture world through the prism of late 19th century bully-boy manlihood, complete with twirly mustaches, bare knuckle boxing and thinly veiled racisms.
I'm going to start this all off with a recent obsession of mine- Ye Olde Englische Kennings. Kennings are poetic compund words, popular in Nordic, German and old Anglo Saxon dialects. Similar to ancient Greek epitaphs ("bronze-haired", silver-tongued") they use circumlocution to add zest, verb and pfaff to humble words. Volkswagen (People's Wagon) is a good modern example, in the context that it means Car. Ancient examples include "Whale's Road" for Ocean, or "Bone Locker" for Body. Let's try some new ones for the modern day, shall we? Bully!

Shit-pig- A pig of low or poor quality

I invite everyone to contribute their own.
