Being raised a country-boy, and having relatives that were about as country as you could possibly be without being named Hatfield or McCoy, I heard some interesting things growing up.
One such thing was the phrase / term pizzle-sprung. It was typically used to describe someone suffering from physical exhaustion. “I tell you what, that boy is just pizzle-sprung. I can’t get a lick of work outta him now.” Eeeeesssshhh. I got the shivers just remembering the thick drawl and horrible pronunciation of every word.
Anyway, I doubt any of you have ever heard the term used before, but it gets better.
The word pizzle can be defined as: 1) The penis of an animal, especially a bull. 2) A whip made from a bull’s penis.
You read that right. A whip made from a bull’s penis. Don’t believe me? OK, here is one.
Wow… I bet you could buy two of those whips and have a sword fight with them… I’ve heard of ‘penis fencing’ but that would be getting a little too literal for my comfort.

Im sorry for the possible off-topic Folks, but could you inform me which web host you are using right now I have a problem because my current web hosting company hostrator.com is kicking me off. They say that our website is using too many server resources. But our website only gets 400 visitors per day. Anyway, what would be your recommendations? Are you happy with your web hosting company? I am checking LCN at the moment, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space? I have contacted them and they say something like 2000gb disk drive costs only $40 per month, so if some day we will start running out of disk space we will simply add a new 2000gb drive so can continue uploading.. Whats your opinion? Any ideas and web host name suggestions are much appreciated.
