Stuff To Put In The Yard

[We Never Know]

I'm not sure if it's a swear, but it's an insult.

I'm not sure if it's a swear, but it's an insult.

My curiosity got to me. "Sod" is short for sodomy. So "Sod off" means the same as "bugger off". A strange concept when one thinks about it. It would take at least two people and doing that act while moving away from a third person sounds rather difficult.

"give a sod" / "sod off": vulgar?.

Sod is grown on sod farms.

I partook in a Family Values Tour riot that saw basically the whole lawn section (consisting of sod) up in the air. There was moshing, fighting, fires, all sorts of chaos and pandemonium in the lawmn, sod and cups and dirt and cans and grass and shoes and huge chunks of sod are flying in the air, it got so crazy event security evacuated the area and called in a riot squad to be on standby and charge in of we didn't settle down.

I thought it was short for "sodimite" which is someone that engages in sodomy.

It's still one of the greatest memories I have all these years later, especially as my beat friend and her family (who's been more a family to me than my biological family) where there, and several years I was even in IOP with one of the stagehands for that show amd getting to thank her for helping to put that show on was really awesome.

I recommend wood chips. Buy'm by the truckload from a bulk supplier. Grass can grow up thru them if the family ever calms down.

Nice suggestion, but what happens to them when it rains. My choice will be river pebbles. Grass can grow through them too.

Turf on this side of the pond is usually used for fake grass, such as astroturf, and we'd often call what you're talking about sod.

Sod over this side of the pont is a cuss word, "oh sod it" when something goes wrong or "sod off" a polite(ish) way of saying "**** off"

I've used many yards of wood chips.
They always stay put unless in an area that floods.
I've graded to avoid flooding.
In areas of runoff, I have either grass or stones.
But my "pebbles" need to be 3" to 5" if they're
to stay put.
