Wouldn't be surprised, though, if Aussie or Kiwi drovers used that particular term as they worked their herds, so he might have picked it up from <i>them</i>. Should have chosen "cleave", "detach", "sever" or "thin" if he didn't want to use "cut out".<br /><br />Assumptions aside, imo his gaffe reflects the current state of the gray lady's efforts. Boxed herself into a corner by severely limiting her income and readership, so frills like fact-checking, etc., are stretched thinner and thinner. Sad state of affairs for those who love a free press.<br /><br />Love to watch a good cutting horse in action. Poetry, intelligence, courage and grace all in the blink of an eye.49erDweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376084827120286674noreply@blogger.com
