whoa... I'm back at my old stomping grounds. >.>;;; Uhhh... how's everyone???

Yo, welcome back!

... but now I'm curious. What is the etymology of the phrase "stomping grounds?" It kind of makes sense if you think of it as preparing a place to bed for the night or build a shelter or something, but I'm still curious.

Well, Ash is Godzilla.

^^ heheheheheh what gave that idea Dia???

>.> *hides his Godzilla suit* ;)

Good to "see" you guys again.

Stomping ground (originally stamping ground until stomp started to replace stamp as the standard form of the word) is pretty much exactly that; it comes from various animals' habit of stamping out the grass before laying down for the night.

Also, hey Ash!
