Ferguson
The name Ferguson (or Fergusson) and its history spreads from Argyle and Kintyre on the west coast of Scotland (then known as Dál
Riata), but also as far across as
Antrim in northeastern Ireland under
Fergus Mór mac Eirc. Evidence suggests that the clan also spread right across the Scottish Highlands as far as Dunkeld. Through emigration, either forced or voluntary, the name Ferguson and its rich heritage have travelled throughout the world.The origin of the name Fergusson or Ferguson, "son of Fergus" (MacFhearguis in Gaelic), is shrouded by the mists of time. Medieval historians recorded a tradition that the founder of Scotland's monarchy was a Fergus who lived in Ireland about 300 B.C. Traditions tell that by 500 A.D. the Scots under Fergus Mór mac Eirc had left Northern Ireland and became established in Dál Riata, now
Argyll. From Fergus Mor, with a few early exceptions, descend all subsequent kings and queens of the Scots, including the present Queen of Britain. St.
Columba of Iona (6th century A.D.) was a scion of Fergus
Mor's royal line.According to Medieval historians Fergus was the founder of the Scottish monarchy. Ayrshire and
Dumfries Fergussons alike claim descent from Fergus of Galloway. The grandfather of
Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick and in turn
great-great-grandfather to Robert Bruce, Fergus, restored the see of Whithorn and founded Dundrennan Abbey during the reign of David I and Malcolm IV. He died as a monk at Holyrood in 1161. Through Robert Bruce passes the line of the Royal Family of Britain. It was the 1st Earl of
Carrick's signature that might suggest the origins of the Fergusson surname, Duncan, son of Gilbert, the son of Fergus, hence MacFhearguis.

A 'Ferguson' is a type of mammal which is characterised by its blond hair that is of its own life form. The hair does what it pleases, forming the 'Ferguson' part of the mammal.
The 'Ferguson' is not restricted to
head hair, but also extended to chest hair and...you know the rest.
Often, when a 'Ferguson' is sighted it must be shot down immediately as it is fashionably contagious.
Not to be confused with an
Angus, the organism which
the Ferguson clings to.
Beware. Little is known as to whether the Ferguson has detrimental side effects. Documented cases of victims of Fergusitis have had symptoms including nausea, cancer of the eyes, rejection, depression and inconvenience.
Example:
Elmer Fudd: "Be veeeewwy quiet, I'm hunting Fergusons."
Ferguson: "Ehh, what's up doc?"
Angus: "WHAT IS ON MY HEAD??"
Angus: "Had a dream that a Ferguson infected me. Woke up, not a dream."
Sam: "Get a haircut."
Angus: "I can't, it's a case of
the Ferguson!"

Pronoun. Typically someone from Southern California or Arizona, who drives any sort of lifted 4x4 truck that has nautical stars and or energy drink decals on the back
tinted window. A ferguson usually wears a black Tapout hat with the bill bent up, a Famous Stars and Straps jersey, camo cargo shorts with a chain wallet, high black socks, and big puffy tongue DC skate shoes. Occasionally, a ferguson will have sparrows or
koi fish tattooed on his shoulder blades, gauge earrings, and have a dirt bike in the back of his lifted 4x4. Fergusons may be accompanied by a female, known as a bro hoe. It is very likely that he (the ferg) is not the first of his friends that has slept with this bro hoe.
The bro hoe typically wears a
white wife beater, cheap blue jeans, a belt with either studs or bottle caps, and a pair of fake Uggs she got from Pac-sun with a Christmas gift card.
