I don't know exactly when the sodding serfs of Romford were busy
inventing rude phrases for TOG's use, but Old English was spoken during
the Early Middle Ages and it evolved into Middle English by Chaucer's
time in the Later Middle Ages. That's when the Wife of Bath told her
pesky husband to sod off.
