I always think of them as on a "chicken", but then anyone can get their "hackles" up if confronted with certain situations, like faux SS markings.

NOUN
(hackles)
1-erectile hairs along the back of a dog or other animal that rise when it is angry or alarmed.
(hackles)
2-a long, narrow feather on the neck or saddle of a domestic rooster or other bird.
3-a steel comb for separating flax fibers.

I have to admit I did not know about #3.

Kurusu,
Great Picture!

Can't take credit for the picture, it wasn't me who took it. Just found it as a good example.

PS you already know I'm not a good photographer.

I figured it was yours- and you frightened the cat!

There's part of a dog showing on the left of the picture. That's what riled the cat.

Me, I don't frighten animals if possible. Even those I'm hunting.

I wish people would take the time to "Google" a word that they don't know the meaning of before they try to use it.
It would save a lot of misunderstanding and time.
Sorry. Just my penny's worth of help.

Yeah! Like "snarky"!
