This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So you really think the fetish came first? Because the word predates the modern fetish usage by like 800 years.

It comes from the cuckoo bird, which engages in nest parasitism. It lays its eggs in another bird's nest to be raised by birds that aren't its parents.
