I'm no historian or linguist, but there has to be a historical parallel here, right? Some empire somewhere banning some words or disparagement of the queen and so the rabble makes up some words or phrase to mean the same things. A cycle of banning then kicks off and suddenly sausages over 4 fingers long mean that the king is a doofus or some other such strange thing.
