Rhuby:
Do check out the link I posted above--there are many meanings for slew--a slew of 'em. I think you'll enjoy the reading.
Best regards,

Yes - I did so as soon as my post appeared and I found yours above it! Sorry to duplicate, everyone! Trouble is, I was working from thread mode, which I am not very used to, and hadn't noticed that there was a later post that the one I answered! I must say that, personally, I am much more comfortable when I'm flat.

nipping is undesirable in sheep dogs. I wondered about the meaning of the name "heeler". Australian Cattle Dogs do bite
which makes sense: cattle, being far bigger than sheep, cannot be cowed by a less aggressive dog

an addition to Dub-Dub's extensive list is the ward heeler, a staple of Chicago politics: http://bartleby.com/61/97/W0029700.html: ward heeler NOUN: Informal A worker for the ward organization of a political machine.hhhmmmmm ... might have to change my screenname to "wordheeler".

Filet of sole, anyone? And how about Charlie Chaplin's classic shoe-eating scene in (ed.)"The Gold Rush."(I stand corrected)  is that the right flick?

Warning: food post.
Then, of course, there's the traditional pickled pigs' feet.

Now this is a change of scene: Culinary Pediments....
Isn't the pediment something like a little roof that goes up outside a building--like a pediment above a door?
I can't liu right now 'cause I'm on my way home for Thanksgiving break, hallelujah!
But ped is bound to come from foot--and yet here's this architectural structure that is well above the usual place for the feet. Interesting.....
So, a culinary pediment could be a chef's hat...oui? Do you follow my thinking here?
Best regards and happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating it!
