heifer

[Jonathan Lighter]

CNN's Soledad O'Brien (mentioned here yesterday for her use of "Na na
na  na  na na") had to explain during a report this morning that "a
heifer, of course, is a female cow."

A. She *had to tell* CNN viewers what the word "heifer" means.

B. Her definition was, er, a little off.
