petercoulson Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Naumkeg (naumkeag) meaning: actually 2 words deriving from the original power unit one shaped like a beer barrel or keg when first seen in england the power man was asked what it was called and thinking on his feet said mmmmmm a ummm keg. this was written down wrongly as naumkeag. is this good enough to win the beer and i promise to find out the real origin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 The original word is from the dialect of the North American Red Indian tribes . Renouned for their cobbling Moccasins together though there is no connection:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Naumkeg/s was in fact the 1st Red Indian to develop the loin cloth slung under the crotch and tied around the waist. This is where the saying "Get your Kegs off" originates from and was attributed to the married couple Norm & Norma Keg, 3rd teepee on the right after Mac Donalds. Seriously, I got the answer of my old pal who has been in the trade longer than I some of you may have heard of him of seen him at the last Exhibition he goes by the name of Nebyou-Canezzer, honestly.

Bren Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think you'll find that, in Dutch, 'naumkeg' means; small abrasion on forehead. As in, "Shit, i've just naum'd me keg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
