and what exactly does Fe Fi Fo Fum mean?

Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
Ripped from wikipedia
Fa from faich (fa!) "behold!" or "see!"
Fe from Fiadh (fee-a) "food";
Fi from fiú "good to eat"
Fo from fogh (fó) "sufficient" and
Fum from feum "hunger".

Thus "Fa fe fi fo fum!" becomes "Behold food, good to eat, sufficient for my hunger!"

I think it is a polite way of saying "Shit"

Though the rhyme is tetrametric, it follows no consistent metrical foot; however, the respective verses correspond roughly to monosyllabic tetrameter, dactylic tetrameter, trochaic tetrameter, and iambic tetrameter. The poem has historically made use of assonant half rhyme. haha.

@Bigrobbie: Yep, that's what Wikipedia says. But they really don't tell you what it means!

@Bigrobbie: Are you genuinely worried about giants? Don't know about the rest of the UK but Wales only has 5 maybe 6 giants, they're maybe 60ft high but they're very sweet

@ajoite: I'll have to look out for them when I next visit Wales then.

Pretty sure it's Giganticus Humanous for "where's the b@$t@rd that woke me up ?"
Bigrobbie · 56-60, M
Yes, yes, that's probably it.

Don't start me off.

@Bigrobbie: No worries man. I was just throwing it out there for humor. No ill will, or any negativity intended. We have Trump over here, we have to find some comic relief....

those are ferric elements.
Some naughty boy named Jack is going to have to chop down a bean stalk to prevent being eaten by an ugly giant.
