"I have tits"
I thought the word "tits" was very 20th century word, does it have its roots to in old English or where they being that careless with language apropriation?
shareWe can safely assume that marauding/pillaging soldiers would not use the 9th century analogue of "decolletage" :-)
Seriously, had the scriptwriters done their research and used "period correct" vulgar, we would have understood the scene's sexual objectification of women contextually. Yet it would be a slippery slope to dialogue incorporating as many Old English words as a well-educated viewer would likely understand. My guess is the producers wanted to make the series as accessible as possible to the largest possible audience. I, for one, am happy to "suspend disbelief" and enjoy the show.
Gotta go "Raise my fyrd" ... er ... "Muster the militia" for King Alfred :-)
