| Why is a deer called a fork-n'-horn when deer have antlers? Just something to ponder. |

| The only time I ever heard anything close to that when talking about a deer was fork-n-knife! |

I think simple people use simple words and that's part of their charm. Always being grammatically correct is boring!! I now live in a big city but with small town roots. Even today we still say "horns" in camp, nobody says "antlers."
If we are on an elk hunt and someone asks if we had seen anything that day an answer may be, "well we saw hair but not any horns." Which means we saw some cows but not any bulls. Or if we didn't even see cows we'd say, "nope, we didn't even see hair." And as we all know animals have fur, not hair. |

| Here in the Mid-west we learned that deer have antlers, rhinos have horns and Hooters' waitresses have racks. Have a good holiday season, everyone! |
