red herring

Herrings put into a tub with salt or brine, later spitted on sharp wooden spits, and hung up in a chimney to be smoked and dried. Such preserved fish would keep for months (and indeed they were transported in barrels to provide protein on long sea voyages) but were inedible in this state and needed to be soaked to soften them and remove the salt before they could be cooked.

Do I smell a rat?

One key characteristic of red herrings, apart from their colour, was their strong smell, so much so that one use for them on occasion was to train hounds to follow a scent.

a deliberately misleading object

Neither fish nor flesh, nor good red herring

horsing

Derives from the use of the word 'riding' to refer to sexual intercourse. It is undecided as to whether the word can be used only if the subject of the verb was on top (the one doing the horsing).

I was horsing my boyfriend all night.

I horsed a hoe on the back seat of my dad's jeep.

Herding worms

Comes from the common saying that something involving coordination of many different groups or people is difficult.

Very similiar to Herding Cats, only slower and more much more frustrating.

Running this meeting is like "Herding Worms".

herring choker

An individual of Scandinavian descent. Also applicable to landlocked enclaves of Scandinavian emigrants, such as the entire state of Minnesota, even though these communities no longer choke their herring in the traditional fashion but instead rely on commercial canneries to pre-choke and pickle their fish.

Torvald: Hey, this bar got any Tuborg?
Barkeep: Sorry, we don't serve herring chokers here.
