Aren't they usually referred to as 'boots'?

Yet *uncouth* is one of those really strange words. You can only be UNcouth, I have never come across *couth* in any context. Funny that.

Do you know, couth does actually exist as a word? It is used in the form couthy in Scotland (I think)...and was used in olde english, and historical novels.
I know this because I read cereal boxes...

Yup, couthy (friendly/comfortable) is a word from the Scots. Couth (to know/knew) came from Old English, and couth (well-mannered) is a reverse formation of uncouth (which also came from Old Eng.). This country needs an enema.

Along those lines, what about 'ruthless', possible to be that but not ruth (unless that's your name  )
ETA: I know it was possible to be ruthful(l?) but not since the 12th C or something... 'sär-"ka-z&m

'Ruth' — meaning sorrow or pity — exists (the adjective is 'ruthful'), but is archaic and related to 'rue' (as in 'rue the day'). This country needs an enema.

Neat. I did not know that.
Now, would one say "ruth" or more "rue-ith"? Or would that depend on where you were from

Don't you find it terribly uncouth when one discusses their earnings or socio-group too much? I always find it lowers the tone somewhat.

Yes. Horrid infact.
I do however like the word 'uncouth' and [my own] antonym; 'couthy'. Dystopia
