A mixed breed dog that is half border collie and half Labrador retriever. Generally not bred intentionally but a fairly frequent accidental cross-breed. Having hybrid vigor, the bordador often has the best features of both breeds, such as the intelligence of the border collie and the friendliness of the Labrador retriever, and lacks many of the worst features of either, such as the health problems associated with inbreeding.
My bordador swims like a Labrador retriever and herds like a borer collie. My bordador is as smart as a border collie but as mellow as a Lab.
Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
