Talk:horsefeather

RFV
The definition says it's a feathering strip (as used in roofing). A quick look didn't turn up any cites. There does seem to some usage in the sense of horsefeathers aka "nonsense" used in grammatical contexts where plural isn't marked, such as modifying a noun.

 * I can't find it in the singular, though it must be used on the job by workmen. |leveling|roof|roofing&btnG=Search+Books&tbm=bks&tbo=1 This search found a few hits, mostly use with explanation immediately following. DCDuring TALK 15:42, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
