The Chinese originally thought the tentacles were the squid’s mustache. I’m not sure how they thought that.

If they get too frisky in school, they may end up with more than one F.

They did it wrong…. The mustache is in the SAKI, not the skewer… oh well… at least they have that rare delicacy…

A “heifer,” with one f, is an adolescent female bovine. They are noted for friskiness and unpredictable actions. Sound like anybody you know?

the reason it’s on a skewer is because the moustache is so small

Having grown up in suburban New York, I am woefully deficient in farm terminology. I still get confused, for example, as to exactly what a “heiffer” is. I had a therapy client who was a farmer, and he’d talk about his struggles with his work, and I had more trouble making sense of farming than of his mind.

If bluejade is female, then obviously the credit should go to her. I suppose I was just precognitively sensing what she was going to say.

You have to be careful when you order the squid mustache. Often times they will try to disguise moose kankles and serve that to you instead.

No offense, JohnB; I thought bluejade said it better.
I also think bluejade is female. I wonder which of us is right?

I always thought “cow” referred to the female of the species, which would make them kind of hard to castrate.
My dictionary gives one meaning of “ox” as any domesticated cattle, cow or bull, kept for milk or meat. The other definition is a castrated bull used as a draft animal.

If you don’t like eating the very tail end of an ox, best try not to think about where eggs come from, then.

I know that exclamation points should be used sparingly but it’s one of the only three vices I have left. And the give a real sense of how I’m speaking: with a lot of emphasis. Not a very good excuse, but true. You’re right about the irony of it all, though!

As I have often noted, this site is very educational. I always thought the ox was a closely related bovine species, different from a cow. But you are right, an ox is just a cow, usually castrated, trained to draft. Of course, there are several closely related bovine species that can interbreed, which makes cattle complicated.

Yes, they’re the same. An ox refers to cow (usually a castrated male, a steer) used to pull a wagon, plow, etc.

The use of like oxtail for describing meat doesn’t necessarily mean the cow it came from was a draft animal.

ox and cow are one and the same, are they not?

and anyway, chinese doesn’t distinguish between the two, if there is a distinction to make.

the mustache should read ‘hair’ – it’s a kind of dried shredded meat, in this case squid, but usually pork or beef/ox.

I’m glad at least two of like it. I was hesitant about using it in twice, but, hey, how often would we get consecutive pages with a squid reference?

By: JohnB

JohnB — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:26:39 +0000

Depends on the location of the squid. If it’s in international waters, probably a letter from the Ban Ki-Moon would suffice.

That was a good enough pun to post twice, although I expect some disagreement from the DPH Fairy.

As I’ve said before, most of the LOLZ here do result from the interplay, not necessarily the Engrish itself, although that can provide lots of laughs in itself. But those who don’t read the posts miss the most clever, witty stuff.

Now there’s a nice coincidence! I’m sure my comment above was a result of your recent comment where you were pretending to be Groucho. I was trying to come up with a suitable reply to that, something about the mustache, and then this pic came along.
Thanks, Holly. Sometimes teamwork just happens.

I never did have ox tongue (although having sliced up many a cow’s tongue on a slicing machine, I assume ox tongues are similarly massive), but I once had dinner cooked by a friend who was a bit of a gourmet chef. She served oxtail stew. It really didn’t taste bad, but I had a lot of trouble getting my mind around the fact that I was eating something from the hind end of an ox! Making an attempt to be gracious, I forced it down, and declined any further invitations for dinner at this friend’s house.

I would think you ought to use IFR any time you’re making out while piloting a plane, regardless of visibility. But in general if you are intent on joining the Mile High Club, I think there are safer ways.

Since it’s roasted, and presumably still hot, I’m sure it doesn’t feel too good on the tongue, either.

I’m guessing because it failed to observe Instrument Flying Regulations when visibility was under 800 feet?
