Horseplay -

This is a very whimsical word. How in the hell did that term get started? I always laughed growing up when someone would actually tell us kids to stop our horseplay.

I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

Ever seen horses play, Flick?  It can make Australian Rules Football look like a sewing circle.  It looks like they have a lot of fun, but they play rough!

over here we have Jools Holland annual 'Hootenanny' on tv, new years eve celebration tv program. think he's been doing it for about 15 yrs now. 'malarkey' is a good one, only people from up north uk say it (up north meaning Manchester/Lancashire way). "all that type of malarkey" lol
