Lexical Vexations
hoarse adj. rough sounding.
horse n. a hoofed, herbivorous quadruped mammal.
Words in the Wild: No, I said I was hoarse after last weekend’s party, not a horse.
Reminder: Unless you’re a horse whisperer you should not be speaking in a horse whisper. Just sayin’.

Perhaps you’d like to write a guest post here entirely in horse? I’d read that (or at least try).
How dare you imply that I am not a horse whisperer? Harrumph! (That means “The nerve!” in horse.)
