What's your word, example or sentence for:
Example: I told my sister not to drive while drinking. As usual, she didn't listen and ended up spending the night in the hoosegow.
AND
Did you know, a bristlecone pine in California, named Methuselah is over four thousand years old?

I would say jail - or perhaps prison.
I hope that tree lives for (at least) another thousand years.
Hi Sandra - I didn't know 'Hoosegow' ... but the tree - yes ... interesting to be reminded/find out - cheers Hilary
I#ve never heard of Hoosegow, and I don't want to land there. That ancient tree sounds a bit too ancient! Hugs, Valerie
Have used hoosegow all my life...maybe it's a Southern thing.
Did Not know about the pinecone!
hugs
Donna
We can only hope that Trump soon lands in the hoosegow - and stays there for a long time. Maybe they could give him bristlecone pines as a mattress.,
I haven't read that word for years and I couldn't instantly remember it. Locked up in the clink.
The Pokey which could also double as a name for that pinecone
I did not know "hoosegow." I thought it meant "hubbub" but was totally wrong. Glad I never tried to use it (incorrectly). Eek.
And I did know the bristle cone pine was ancient. I hope to see one in a year or two. Just imagine what was going on in the world that long ago!
A fun post, Sandra. I hope you're well. :-)
I did know hoosegow was jail and about the age of the pines, too :) xo
Once again, I did not know :)
Wow on the face and what a word too.
