Returning from a walk with the dog, Linda said, "Coney got a horse biscuit."
Consider the possible range of meanings, there. A biscuit FOR a horse? A biscuit MADE OUT of horse? A biscuit SHAPED like a horse? A crude euphemism?
Turns out, it was a biscuit FOR horses, a thing we didn't have in my youth, when horses were lucky to get a sheaf of hay and some sweet feed and maybe a pat on the back with a shovel. But it raises some other questions: what animals now have their own snacks, that I don't know about? I know that Purina makes "chow" for just about everything that's held in captivity -- are there high-end, gourmet treats for primates, for example? Bonobo Bites? Rhesus Pieces? Macaquearoons?
This is apparently how going off steroids makes you think ... if "think" is the right word, here.
