The Origin of “Brunch”

Once upon a time in ancient Slobovia there was a lazy-ass witch named Brunchipoo, who was a cook in Mighty Byg Wytch’s kitchen. Brunchipoo’s job was to prepare the daily Sunrise meal for the Byg Wytch.

Brunchipoo would stay up all night getting drunk, cackling, seducing all the male wytches and turning people into frogs, goats and snakes. Therefore, the Byg Witch would not get her sunrise meal until the hour of the Squatt (approximately 11 AM) and she was not pleased, so she threw Brunchipoo out on her ass.

But Brunchipoo found a holler and kept cooking her 11 AM meal, and it became very popular with the nightcrawlers around Slobovia. Soon the saying was “Let’s do some Brunchipoo,” and finally, “Let’s do brunch.”
