jail

On-Yomi: ロウ

Koohii stories:

1) [Megaqwerty] 15-6-2007(52): For a cow used to free-grazing, being stuck in a house is equivalent to being in jail.

2) [Katsuo] 9-2-2007(23): Looking at the kanji 家 , keeping pigs in the house was normal. But, if you instead kept a cow in the house, you would be sent to jail.

3) [CountPacula] 25-6-2009(10): Stuck in jail, otherwise known as the big house or the hoosegow, er, "-cow" (the 'c'/'k' getting voiced into a 'g' in the compound word…) (^ahem^).

4) [Nukemarine] 5-7-2008(3): Embarassing way to go to JAIL: they search your HOUSE and find a COW in your bed. Great, now you're going to JAIL on bestiality charges.

5) [astridtops] 25-8-2006(3): The man went to jail rather than paying the fine for keeping his cow in the house.
