Since Jeff was kind enough to point out us EOG mousketeers are not exactly mensa material, we don't have to be ignorant fools forever. So let's learn a new big word, with more than one syllable.
I think any of these would fit, 1,2 or 3. It was not meant to be taken seriously, It was amusing, like the harmless cow's big nose, and it lacked serious intent. So all of the above, in this case. Thank you Janus, I feel 1/100 of an IQ point gain. The big cow nose was funny though.
Best wishes...OF :LMAO
