28 aug 06 "what is a cucoo?" probably a misspelling of "cuckoo", which is a bird. family of birds, rather. boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring. many species of cuckoo are known for laying their eggs in the broods of other birds, thereby making a surrogate of the unwitting nest-owner. after it hatches, the cuckoo chick kills off its brothers and sisters. let's turn it into a metaphor: a cuckoo: someone who insinuates himself into a situation in order to benefit from it while screwing the original players. jews and asians in the american upper-middle class? just kidding. the roadrunner is a cuckoo (beep beep). i did not know this. a "cuckold" is a man with an adulterous wife, who both allows her sin to continue and remains married to her. the word is related to "cuckoo", and is a direct reference to the cuckoo's own questionable breeding habits. you don't hear the word "cuckold" too often, although cuckoldry hasn't been particularly on the decline, i don't think. i'm going to quit while i'm ahead here, move on to the next question, and mark this one down on the "dud" board. |
