So in college, my friends and I said “flocking,” instead of the other word.

Everything became, “she’s so flocking annoying,” and “what the flock?!?,” and “flock you!”

Then Halloween came and we (there were at least 7 of us) dressed up as a flock of cows. We wore black garbage bags and taped white spots to them and painted our faces and I think some of us wore tails (one or two of us already had one).

And we won a prize.

So I was thinking about that today.

I haven’t flocking thought of that for years.
