The oddities of English. Can you contribute?

Though I am familiar with most types of English, I couldnt catch on to the bit about 'colt' and 'eggs'! I may be dumb but I never heard this said before! Could u or Vikingswest explain, oriental?

When you read or hear the word "nest" you think of birds and eggs. But if it is a "mare's nest" (meaning a hoax) you should be waiting for a colt coming out of an egg. :)

These are news headlines that many guys with good schooling even in the third world (or developing) countries can understand. Such newspaper jargon has become common in countries like India. The other day, when I was typing out a comment, I used a word that spells - 'c', 'u', 'm'. Imagine my surprise when mylot editor asked me not to use obscene language! Actually, that word (I'm not typing that word because I'll be reprimanded again, which means a waste of tim!!) means 'including'.

Thanks for the reminder! yea, its an uncountable noun like furniture, news, cattle, etc.
