Word Of The Day Thread

[Akzle]

PROMISSORY NOTE A written document in which
a borrower agrees
(promises) to pay back
money to a lender according
to specified terms. A written
promise to pay a certain sum of money, at a future time,
unconditionally. A promissory note differs
from a mere
acknowledgment of debt,
without any promise to pay,
as when the debtor gives his
creditor an I 0 U. In its form it usually contains a promise
to pay, at a time therein
expressed, a sum of money
to a certain person therein
named, or to his order, for
value received. It is dated and signed by the maker. It
is never under seal.

Jersey milk is slightly yellow, as is butter.........for obvious reasons.
Funny enough the red milking cows come from Scotland or Scandinavia much like the other gingers......
food for thought

red breeds (milking cows) in NZ mainly Ayrshire followed by red devon and milking shorthorn.

butter tends to be yellow due to the fact it is mainly fat.

jersey milk is yellower because it is higher percentage of said fats than the likes of red breeds or freisen.

probably the under rated breed in NZ is the good old guernsey but personally i preferred the xbred due to their resilience and generally better temerament, not as sulky as a jersey or freisen

Yes but I would include the Finish and Swedish reds
The Mrs parents had South Devons, he used to frown when people thought they were Limousines
Last milking shorthorn herd here disappeared 20 years ago.
Ps the Hereford breeders would be a little upset you overlooked them

yip and water

Yip

Nearly all the Gurnseys I ever came across all had Turnip tits.
Funny enough they the first cows imported into NZ (shorthorn)
I like Ayrshires as they are rugged (and tasty) and are great drain cleaner (foragers)
I will say one thing those channel islanders certainly knew how to bred cattle

Anyway you know this word but I doubt most the non farmers do

Heterosis

No its not bad breath.
Its hybrid vigour.
Which is why crossbreds are so vigorous.

You left out "moist!" Murray Grey is a breed developed from roan shorthorn cow with angus ( shit sounds like Scottish interbreeding going on,hmmm) and there ain't nothing wrong with Angus as a nice beef eating breed, it's what my family butcher shop sold, which came from a local prize Simmentel breeder. My point is a lot to do with the rearing of them in many instances, and also can have a lot to do with the cook.

"Limousines" wouldn't they be a bit tough, and do they come with a chauffeur?...kidding ... been in the meat trade so know a bit about breeds. Currently chewing through a freezer of small farm reared belted galloway and it ain't too bad at all.

And to sheepies, i'll give my 2c worth, Texel or Texel cross is the tastiest leanest, (moist) superb ya can get yer choppers around at an outdoor cooked meal. Found out about these on a visit to Netherlands and found they are breed here, just got to find a farm that breeds em, apparent;y mungrels to farm as being naturally Dutch tempermental, how do I know, ask SWSBO.

[granstar]

Wird ; pronounced in German as "verd", in Southlandish as "worrrd"

As a noun = word...makes sense
As a verb = to express oneself whatever that could mean

I'd like to have a wird with you, ... ferk off and find your own alleyway

Funny enough those Murrays Greys were created in Aussie
Those older breeds like the Scottish highlander and belted or non belted Galloways do have a certain gamey appeal, bloody thick hides as well.
Pretty sure Lockwood smith was breeding Texals here pretty early on as well as the Belgian Blues, I think the Belgian blues although impressive looking with the double mussels were having grading with failing to make P grade.

mongrel animals to get weight on and not great temperament, semintel ayreshire cross were great to rear for beefies as were ayreshire hereford cross.
ever heard of black factor ayreshires, neither had a neighbor of one of my bosses when i was a young fella, that is till he came visiting one day and asked why we had friesens in a ayreshire stud.

seem to remember a texel tasting rather good at a relatively late hour back in march, have we decided whether that one is happening again there granstar

I have always wanted to try some Romagnola and Chianina but the grading would scare me I think there could be a market for lean beef.
Funny I used to tease a ped freisin stufd who had some red factors about their Ayrshires.
I also know a guy who (for years) used to put a random early Jersey calve into his mates Ped Friesian springer paddock. he never caught on either.........

Heh heh just getting over that one, and that lingering beaut taste just leaving my mouth and starting to taste like whisky now...oh wait!

It wasn't so much the drama of doing a spit roast, it was like...."let's do a spit"..."yeah - great idea"...."um!, we haven't got one....( breaks out welder, rods, and pile of scrap metal)"...."let's make one".
Spit made and a first time attempt turned out on the good side of spectacular for mere amatuers yeah sometime.

yeah, always preferred meat with a bit of fat, I like jersey with the yellow fat and would take that over freisen any day.

the guy who thought we had black factor ayreshires also believed that the neighbors fed fine chop silage to his deer because they shed their teeth in the winter, after a visit to our farm. this guy grew up on a farm next door and was in his late thirties when this happened but to be fair he had led a very sheltered life

PLUCKYEW .......from the History of the Middle Finger:


Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers.
Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as 'plucking the yew' (or 'pluck yew').

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and they began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentalfricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute!

It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as 'giving the bird.'

And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing. Didn't yew!!

[granstar]

labiodentalfricative 'F'

The voiceless labiodental fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in a number of spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨f⟩.

So on that basis we are right to call Steve, Stephfen, aka Steven with a ph

As previous post PHuck it!, ...Fuck it! but the burning questions is what the fuck is IT?

[eldog]

a texel tasting rather good

I know a Texel breeder. Interesting looking for a townie.
Did taste nice too.
