Don't 'thick end of the handle' me, with your but buts.
;)
Where IS AbraxasZugzwang anyhow?!
But, but ...
Yes, definition #4 is exquisite: "Something determined in relation to something that includes it." Oh, WeirdNet. You're always so . . . precise.
Actually... You need butts (of a sort) to participate in archery, which is an Olympic sport. *is a bit stunned that bilby's bizarre assertion is somewhat accurate*
And what's with that last definition? Oh Weirdnet. You're so weird.
'equipment needed to participate in a particular sport' was the one that mystified me. I hope Chinese authorities have ensured an adequate supply of butts for the Olympic Games.
I especially like WeirdNET's fourth and eighth definitions. WTF?
I randomed this, honestly! *facepalm*
Clearly this word most commonly refers to the "thick end of the handle," and not, as I mistakenly believed, a person's posterior. Thank you, WordNet!
And I cannot lie.
Ah yes, that old legend about George, duke of Clarence being drowned in a butt of malmsey wine in the Tower of London... It does seem that 126 gallons would be enough to do the trick.
A unit of volume equal to two hogsheads or 126 gallons.
for a cigarette, my old man says cigabutt.
