¿Question #228225?
pricero1: Britains touch wood, but Americans knock on wood. Why are Americans so violent?

MABBY: It all goes back to a constitutional amendment and a time when everyone had to be violent.
PolarDad: We are rebelling against your Druid gods
BOBBYCAN: Maybe if you'd stop trying to touch our wood we wouldn't be so violent, pricero.
Woelf: In this context, "knock" is actually a euphemism for shoot. Shoot wood. Riddle it with so much freedom that only splinters remain!
RealGuest: Your colonial ways left us no alternative. After that it's just habit. Came in pretty useful for the continent a couple times, though.
