Sprinkle and Whomp!

Thankyou, Vinde. I had heard so many nice things about The Playground... was beginning to wonder.

Here is some explanation:

ANCIENT PAGAN ORIGINS. Many of our Polish customs date back to pre-Christian practices of our Slavic ancestors. The custom of pouring water is an ancient spring rite of cleansing, purification, and fertility. The same is true of the complimentary practice of switching with pussy willow branches, from which Dyngus Day derives its cognomen "Smigus" -from "smiganie" -switching.

The pagan Poles bickered with nature -"dingen" by means of pouring water and switching with willows to make themselves "pure" and "worthy" for the coming year. Similar practices are still present in other non-Christian cultures during springtime.
 
your thread subject makes much more sense now.
I think i need to go find some willow switches and have a shower. Thanks:)
 
Whew...I always thought that "Dyngus/dingus" was slang for the male organ. LOL I'm glad I was wrong!
