Etymology Dictionary

I am sure there are guys who know of this site but I just came across it as I was looking into an English site using "per cent" instead of "percent."

After looking at the word I went there for I started jumping through pages as I find it kind of interesting. I thought I would share.

BTW, I found some things I didn't expect to be in there like....

johnson; "penis," 1863, perhaps related to British slang John Thomas, which has the same meaning (1887).

I didn't know the possible origin of johnson being slang for penis.
