yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyea
my business law teacher was on a short lived game show in 1990, that took place in some atlantic city Trump casino, and he got a question that would lead him to getting 10,000 bucks wrong- but he was convinced he got it right. he wrote a sweetass letter to the show all about the laws of contracts and what not, and he convinced the show that he actually got the question right, with proof of a dictionary definition.
the question- what is the correct name for the father of a colt?
The show would have only accepted a steed or equine, two words i have never really heard of. but a horse is technically right too.
so he went back to the show so they could replay the final 5 minutes of it, he got the money, $4000 of it that had to go to taxes. that show, whatever it was called, was cancelled not more than 2 months later- so he got pretty lucky.

what did he answer the question. When i saw it i would have answered it Godfather.
he said horse, and they didnt accept it
You've never heard of steed or equine?
a long time ago- its not like its part of our regular vocabulary
*shrugs* I suppose having a number of friends who ride horses, some rather often, it's just something I've grown accustomed to hearing.
