Feague

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To feague a horse is to put ginger up a horse’s fundament, and formerly, as it is said, a live eel, to make him lively and carry his tail well. It is said, a forfeit is incurred by any horse-dealer’s servant, who shall show a horse without first feaguing him.

[edit] In popular culture

• Terry Pratchett's Night Watch describes a fictional slang term, Fleague a jade.
