Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Can't find what you have found apparently.

Nor can I. The clappers in Elizabethian times referred to a particular part of the male anatomy. Does that help?

Well, it brightened up my morning!

Some images you just can't unsee. You must be having a dull morning, MJ. I will now take myself away...

Yeah, I got that far out of my head. I've just been reading in Brewers Phrase and Fable and I can't find anything in there either.
I also had a search in my books trying 'the clap' route but drew a blank there as well. Still, that saves a visit to the clinic.

More viva la Feitico.
It is unfortunate that the word witch is associated with harm these days.

Indeed it is.

Ok. Feitico was a word I didn't recognise. When I checked google translate [yes, I know. Not the most accurate source] it gave the translation as *spell*. I'm wondering if that may be why it doesn't have the same associations...? Words & names are funny things. Meanings change & get lost & I'm always getting caught by surprise. Blowing like the clappers was common usage when I was growing up but the actual meaning can make me blush. No. Not sharing. Look it up yourself!

Tried googling, nothing came up.

That's awesome!

Good evening peeps, roos and other beings. I wish all of you greetings.
(I just put the birds away, and it sure is empty in that big coop) Oh, well. I'm off to dinner now.
I will come back later, to catch up.

Rat Update
The rats are not engaging with my trap in box. Color me surprised.

However..........

I now know where they live. They have run the groundhogs out from under my shed.

How do I know that you might ask? Observation.

I have cleared the garden of vegetables now that they have been frosted and have died. Once I do that I will allow the ladies in and I will turn it over with a shovel and allow them to worm hunt. They will smooth it back out for me. The other day the flock and I turned over the garden and left a fairly even but rough surface. We had a little rain and the rats did me a favor by packing down a pathway with their little feet drawing a line right to their warren under my shed.

Here is the rat superhighway.

So today I staked it out. Here is visual proof.

Their dirty little secret is out. This is bad news for them because I am switching to a big bang approach. If I can pull it together tomorrow, I am going to dry ice their house and kill them all at one time, if I'm lucky.

Of course in search of a blush I immediately tried to look it up
I had to search awhile. Eventually landed on an English slang dictionary web site that wasn't very specific http://neilbymouthgloss.blogspot.com/2006/04/english-slang-dictionary.html. No blush.
