I learned a new word today.

It came up in a discussion of the behavior of financiers and so-called investors:

Ovine

hm, it turns out it can be used descriptively as well:

most ovine (re: individual)

and with a bit further investigation, it seems that

wether

might have some application in political discourse as well.

Rather than my more lupine-favoring analogy of record, maybe I had best leave this with...

Where are the Mouflon when we need them?

re: "one doesn't..."

Cypriot Souvla? nope, lamb is best, I think they make it with pork as well.

((calls for MaxKon, expert on all things carne))

forgive me, not just "topic" I meant to indicate:

(this thread's) Label = Sarcasm

but as you made the observation that financiers are a part of this, then you did note it correctly. silly me.
