Hunter blow thy horn

Family motto bequeathed to the Forest clan in Northumberland, of which spelling variations include: Forrester, Forester, Forrest, Forster, Foster, and Forrestor. Almost to a man, this clan consists of underachievers, slackers and halfwits.

The family motto "Ombeht unforht æghwæþres sceal" has been found in many old texts. Most of which were written in the pre-Norman Conquest period. Historians and Old English scholars agree however, with the modern translation of "Hunter blow thy horn". The surprising fact is that this translation is completely at odds with its Old English meaning. Scholars have put forth the following Old English translations:


- An experiment in artificial stupidity.

- Dumber than a box of hair.

- An intellect rivaled only by garden tools.

- As smart as bait.

- Chimney's clogged.

- Proof that evolution can go in reverse.

and

- Doesn't know much but, leads the league in nostril hair.
Example sentence:

Then, at the top of the crest was our family motto. It reads:

"Hunter Blow Thy Horn"

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
