And then the question of whether or not it was a "swear/vulgar" word ... i.e., was it
spouted/shouted when someone ran into trouble, had a bad thing happen, got frustrated, etc. -
i.e., used as we used vulgar language when we, e.g., find out that we overslept and have 10
minutes to get to an important meeting at work - i.e., did the Greeks say, "Oh, SKUBALA -
there is no way am I going to get to Athens by 9:00!" or "What kind of SKUBALA are you
trying to feed me?!?!"
