Now the sheets are brown-stained and arctic,
oh! love's a perfidious fink,
and I snuffle the bed like a truffle-pig
desperate to retrace his stink.

- Peter Reading, Song of the Bedsit Girl, from Tom O' Bedlam's Beauties, 1981

There are a number of opposing ideas for the etymology of this word. I feel very strongly that we need to root out the true source.
