I'm no nameologist but I think it means they were a sailor who rode nukes around Oregon, like that one cowboy riding a nuke in that cold war documentary I watched.

Edit: here's a screenshot from the documentary

That kid was a prodigy. Landed that nuke softer than that jet blue with the sideways landing gear.

The coconut nut is a giant nut
If you eat to much you get veeery fat (very fat) The coconut nut is a delicious nut,
But most of all it's not a nut!

It's the cocofruit (it's the cocofruit)
From the cocotree (from the cocotree)
From the cocopalm family! (Ayayayayay)

Sigh, what’s the definition of milk?

Edit:

  1. A whitish liquid containing proteins, fats, lactose, and various vitamins and minerals that is produced by the mammary glands of all mature female mammals after they have given birth and serves as nourishment for their young. 
  1. The milk of cows, goats, or other animals, used as food by humans. 
  1. Any of various potable liquids resembling milk, such as coconut milk or soymilk.

It mentions coconut milk specifically

But coconut milk is made by crushing the coconut meat and mixing it with coconut water. Coconuts don't make milk, they make water. Humans crush coconuts and call it milk.

But if you asked for milk and they gave you anything made from a plant, you'd be right to reject it

Milk with no qualifiers is cow juice

No, in nature the mothers do "give" the milk to their young. Misuse of "give" when referring to dairy cows, however, is common.

Hey, I am entirely not trying to be an ass, but in situations like what just happened there, here is what I usually do:

Christoper Walken Lee (EDIT: Derp)

Something like that is what I try to do when I make a silly error, but want to showcase that I made the error, and then also accepted and made the correction.

That way, if somebody in the future, who reads only the edited version of the comment/post/thread sees it, they can understand that perhaps other comment chains based off of the initial error are not non sequiturs.

It also shows that you are humble and admit a mistake, and make a correction, which imo, are good things to showcase... as opposed to doing a 'stealth edit', which leaves no obvious signs of what the original comment was, in the comment itself.

Has hair, has milk (sort of), yes. But, it isn't mamal. It doesn't maintain an internal body temperature through endothermy.
