Well, nobody knows what that instrument is called that holds horses by the nose. So here's an ostrich question:
Do ostriches really bury their heads in the sand? And, if so, does this behavior have a name? I think such a term would be useful. Denial comes to mind, but that ain't the term.

In school we were told ostriches didn't really bury their head in the sand, it just looked like it when they put their head down. And I never thought I'd use that piece of information twice.
If someone can make up a word that means get hit with a fish, I'm sure someone has one for bury your head.

Well, cornobbled is fish, so ostriduggled is bird.
Bird regards,
WordWidgeon yeah, I still think it's a duck
Now use it correctly in a sentence.
a word ... for bury your head.
to chamberlain
Well, to chamberlain is better than to chamberpot!
Ostriduggled in a sentence:
"Embarrassed by his linguistic fauxpas, tsuwm ostriduggled his poor head in a stack of lexicons."
How's dat?

Hey! - I do! - it's a "twitch". Didn't see where you asked the question.

Thanks, Stales. Twitch was exactly what I was looking for...under the Cape Buffaloed thread.
Best regards,
