Quote:ORIGIN
late Old English, from Old French cucuault, from cucu ‘cuckoo’ (from the cuckoo's habit of laying its egg in another bird's nest). The equivalent words in French and other languages applied to both the bird and the adulterer; cuckold has never been applied to the bird in English.

Pardon my "popping in" however your post warrants comment.
You say:
Quote:Nick had his choice of getting married and having children or being a grimm.That seems to imply that "getting married and having children" and "being a grimm" are mutually exclusive. That is obviously not true as proven by the marriage of Kelly Burkhardt (a Grimm) and Reed Burkhardt that produced a child, Nick Burkhardt. The book of Grimm Ancestry contained multiple examples of Grimm marriages and children:

Hey New Guy-
Thanks for the grimm wiki insert on the grimm family tree. Have you looked at it? I had to laugh when I saw it. I think there were more question marks than actual grimms.
It's amazing to me that these grimms are so detailed about their entries in their diaries, even down to providing drawings of their encounters. Yet they can't even write down the names of their respective spouses.
There are some blanks on the Grimm.Wiki ancestry charts. However, the contents of the Book of Grimm were likely quite complete and detailed. From 5.22, ""The Beginning of the End" Transcript [bold added]:
Quote:Monroe: I have a feeling we're gonna need her and whole lot more. [He picks up the Grimm lineage book] Oh, my God, this is one of the books my uncle Felix died for.and
Rosalee: Oh, the Grimm ancestry book.
Monroe: Can you imagine if Black Claw got a hold of this?
Rosalee: They could hunt down and kill every Grimm.
Quote:Bonaparte: [He chuckles] No. I find that boring too. You have a book I want. We had just found out where it was In the hands of another Grimm, a Mr. Josef Nebojsa in Prague. We tracked it to a book dealer in Leipzig and then here to Portland. Turns out the book dealer who bought it is related to a friend of yours. The book dealer was Blutbaden, yet he chose to give the book to a Grimm. I believe that you now have that book, and you will give it to me.Can you name Juliette's mother and father? Can you name even one of Juliette's descendants LOL
Nick: All of this for a book?
Bonaparte: The book is one of a kind. It documents every Grimm, living or dead.:
