oldschoolsdime92 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I bet there were alot of hogs around those logs, that were grown to produce clogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 They'd need to be over the ankle clogs to be any good for riding. Try getting your foot in that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Was that log that these clogs came from near a bog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 The mythical bog in which the frog hopped over the dog whilst he consumed eggnog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'03VstarSH Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 The frog landed on a log that the dog had just left right next to the mythical bog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 …Interestingly enough (or not so much) also known as a Sabot, from whence the words saboteur and sabotage are derived, although the exact etymological evolution is debatable: sabotage (n.) 1910, from Fr. sabotage, from saboter "to sabotage, bungle," lit. "walk noisily," from sabot "wooden shoe" (13c.), altered (by association with O.Fr. bot "boot") from M.Fr. savate "old shoe," from an unidentified source that also produced similar words in O.Prov., Port., Sp., It., Arabic and Basque. In Fr., the sense of "deliberately and maliciously destroying property" originally was in ref. to labor disputes, but the oft-repeated story that the modern meaning derives from strikers' supposed tactic of throwing old shoes into machinery is not supported by the etymology. Likely it was not meant as a literal image; the word was used in Fr. in a variety of "bungling" senses, such as "to play a piece of music badly." The verb is first attested 1918 in Eng., from the noun. Saboteur is 1921, a borrowing from Fr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
