I was just wondering about the word "mule" used in coinage, and after
looking at several definitions it hit me, just as the definition of
the animal below, (A Hybrid) so goes our coin. This may have been
obvious to most of you, but for those unfortunates such as myself,
who used the word but never thought "why that word?", I believe this
to be the reason....but I may be wrong.....Mike H., john M. K, Jim
S., and a host of others whose command of the English language I
admire can agree or correct me....if they want.
A hybrid animal; specifically, one generated between an ass and a
mare. - 2004-07-03
