Subject: Sheepish question
Written By: K1chyd on 03/14/06 at 2:58 pm
I have a language question again, or rather two, what is the English word for an adult male sheep and what is the word for an adult female sheep, I know that a young sheep is called a lamb so I'm just after the words for the adults (assuming there are such words to differentiate them in English). // Peter

Thanx Rex! "Ram" gave me deja vu, should have known that one, "ewe" didn't so double thanx for that one.

It's for a parody, a sick parody (is there any other kind), and the sauce implied to be spilt on the sheep might not be minty, but possibly white! 8)

I may have spoken too soon. According to further research, in some parts of the country the female sheep is called "sweetheart". :D

I know all about you and your sick sheepish ways. Are you the one I was talking about in my parody "One Sheep"?

I'm sure Peter knows very well what they are (if not in the biblical sense), but simply didn't know the English words for them: you've gotta be impressed 'cause he's writing these parodies in his second language. I'm not sure I'd do too well writing in Swedish (well, I've managed one in sort of French)
But I don't think people were dissing your country... maybe a little "joshing", though ;)
