CBTeen just asked me about the correct spelling of the phrase "she got a wild ____," and I don't know the right answer.
In fact, I've never thought to type it, and I've never thought much about it. Neither option is very satisfactory. We either have to discuss genital hair growth patterns or beastiality. And it's a Saturday, for pete's sake!
So, which is it? What do you think/type/spell when you use/hear that phrase?

Never heard this one -- what context do you use it in?

A farmer had a livestock accident when his donkey sat down on his rabbit hutch. Subsequently, he got a wild hare up his ass.

I believe it is hair.
Sort of like the wild hair one may see growing out of an eyebrow.
In the case of this expression, the hair would be located elsewhere.

I have actually heard this used many times. The phrase is "wild hair ..."
However, walker_percy's story is so great I actually wish that was it.

I always thought that it was a hair. Imagine the problem that an infected follicle would cause in that region.

To be a wild hair, I don't think it has to be growing out of an infected follicle so much as it has to be pointing in an uncomfortable direction.

You're being too literal. The first time I heard it I was a kid and this is what I figured it out to mean. |
