508: wee Apr 29, 2016

It might seem a peculiar thought for small, non-viking children to be screaming war-cries while playing games but that practice is not so uncommon as we may think. The exclamation 'wee' may seem like something entirely natural for people to say, but the word comes from the Old English 'wīg' meaning 'battle', as troops might have yelled before charging enemy lines.
