Kow tow is an Asian derivative which means simply to bow to pay respect. On the other hand cow tailing means sucking it up to please someone else and has little to do about respect. LOL. That's obviously some kind of retroactive definition invented by people who misheard "kowtow".

That's obviously some kind of retroactive definition invented by people who misheard "kowtow". No joke here but its used often in the midwest. I was shocked that a few of you have never heard of it. Kind of like pop and soda. hayloft or haymow. when I googled it thats what came up

This is literally the quote from the language blog I referenced in my post on the prior page. I stand by what I said in that post: "One of the people who responds asserts that the two terms have similar but distinct meanings. I think the respondent is full of sh!t, much like holiday." Here's what the blogger said in response to the guy holiday is quoting: "Once eggcorning has happened, the new version comes with a rationalization, and the new version can spread as a new lexical item to people who know nothing of its history. Which seems to be what happened here."

You should try clicking the link you're referring to, where that is refuted and corrected.

Do you guys have such lousy lives in so little to worry about that you’re going to argue for a few hours about cow tailing? Get a life!

Even kowtow doesn't make sense. Also - maybe I spoke for you when I shouldn't have. When you were referring to how pretests and violence was happening depending on the presence of additional federal law enforcement, I assumed you were referring to what was happening directly on federal property. Was my inference correct? I certainly never said that removal of the additional federal law enforcement was going to stop protests and rioting in Portland - just that it was likely to take away the issues at the federal courthouse. There was nothing major going on at the Courthouse. Trump sent the goons in to stir things up, and they sure did that. Once they stopped showing up, the protests there evaporated. It's pretty clear what happened, despite n00b's fantasy scenario about the agents only responding to intelligence that the courthouse was going to be attacked. You are spouting conspiracy theory nonsense with no evidence.

You are spouting conspiracy theory nonsense with no evidence. Huh? The evidence was the agents who were right there. Photographed right there. Videoed right there. Acknowledged by Trump himself to be right there. What are you talking about? You are the one pushing the idea that there was some "intelligence" about an attack on the courthouse for which you have no evidence.

I am just telling you what the DHS has publicly stated was their reason for being there. Sure, you can assume the government is lying about things. That puts you in a group with people who believe we faked the moon landing and 9/11 was an inside job.

That puts you in a group with people who believe we faked the moon landing and 9/11 was an inside job. Well, I suppose it does. But it also puts me in the same group with people who think that The Pentagon Papers were real, that Iraq didn't actually have any WMDs in 2001, that Pat Tillman was killed by "friendly fire", etc. etc. Believing that a government official lied about one thing does not logically mean that you believe everything is a lie. It just means you don't believe politicians or government officials always tell the truth. Do you think Trump or any other President has ever lied? If so, that also puts you in the same group. You know, "a group with people who believe we faked the moon landing and 9/11 was an inside job".

Ted Wheeler is begging people to stop rioting because it’s only going to help Donald Trump‘s campaign. What an idiot. Maybe he should start cracking down on these losers. What a pathetic failure in leader ship And instead of being concerned about his businesses and his citizens, he’s worried about politics. Liberals!

For what it's worth, I don't think he's saying that because he believes it. He's saying it because he has no clue what to do and this is just an attempt to get them to stop.

Do any liberals have any basic common sense. They seriously thought it would all magically stop when the Feds left? Instead of saying its wrong to destroy our beautiful city he uses the President and you only help get him elected?

Instead of saying its wrong to destroy our beautiful city he uses the President and you only help get him elected? Many don’t look for common sense because many on left react based on emotion not logic. They follow this extreme side of party around like good little soldiers not really looking into or questioning anything they do. They said it, oh it’s must be true. When everything is trump and the rights fault and the extreme left and followers literally take responsibility for nothing, that’s not realistic at all. Not saying right is blameless but the left literally will own up to nothing negative. I’ve started staying extreme left and followers because I think this is who’s driving everything. I honestly think many more moderate democrats don’t actually believe in what far left is doing and as result I believe will be voting for trump in election. There’s many who believe the right is comming more to the center meeting with the moderates on left more where as the far end of that party has gone way far the other direction. I think this will show in election
