RE: [RC] Tailing question - Mike SherrellThe more I contemplate this the less I like the idea of communicating with my quick, light, willing, headstrong gelding using language developed for a team of slow, plodding, plough-dragging, stolid, heavy-weight oxen. We're lunging up an embankment, not turning at the end of the day's umpty-umpth row.

Apparently they were invented and used by the owners of the first domestic Oxen used for draft and have stayed the same in meaning and use since. I don't have a reference, so if someone knows I am wrong I won't be offended.
