Since scrapie has been known since 1732 but the word isn't first recorded until 1910, does anybody have an idea what it was known as in the almost two centuries between? — Hippietrail 16:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

It might be interesting to note that the word 'sheep' was a curse word among the Irish who were displaced from their tenement land by their English masters who discovered they could earn more profits from wool production. Irish were also the largest immigrant group to north america and have had much influence on americas venacular. ex-mr.x, 13 march 2006
