Hö

Last week in class there was a conversation in Swiss German. Not that unusual here in Switzerland. But this time somebody was kind enough to ask me if I understood. Not really, only a little. So they tried to explain "hö", which after a while we figured out was hay in English. Why they discussed it is beyond me, but it was funny when one of them added "not the type you smoke, but that horses eat". This coming from a 50+ grey-haired man :)...sometimes people surprise you!
