    A visitor met an old Indian at the reservation. He saw the Indian's wife pottering about in the background. Knowing that American Indians give evocative names to their children, he asked the old man what his wife's name was. The Indian replied, "She is called Five Horses." "That is an unusual name. What does that mean?", asked the visitor. "It is an old Indian name", replied the Indian. "It means NAG, NAG, NAG, NAG, NAG."

              "Nag" means to pester and annoy someone until they do something (wives are often teased about nagging their husbands to put the bins out, put the toilet seat down, take the garbage out etc), and it is also a slang term for an old or useless horse. So five horses are five nags, and also that the wife nag, nag, nag, nag, nags her husband :)

                One day a young Indian gets curious about the names of his family. Child: Dad, where do our names come from? Father: Whenever a child is born, I sit atop the mountain and the child is named after whatever I see. When your sister was born I saw a hundred buffalo running across the planes so I called her running-buffalo. When your brother was born I saw the river was swollen and glittered in the sun so I called her shining-water. Why do you ask, two-dogs-f******?

                        Thank a lot for the explanation I was just like :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::doh: :doh: :doh:

                        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
