"Kingbird" is a word in ENGLISH
The king tody. See under King.
A small American bird (Tyrannus tyrannus, or T.
Carolinensis), noted for its courage in attacking larger birds, even
hawks and eagles, especially when they approach its nest in the
breeding season. It is a typical tyrant flycatcher, taking various
insects upon the wing. It is dark ash above, and blackish on the head
and tail. The quills and wing coverts are whitish at the edges. It is
white beneath, with a white terminal band on the tail. The feathers on
the head of the adults show a bright orange basal spot when erected.
Called also bee bird, and bee martin. Several Southern and Western
species of Tyrannus are also called king birds.
It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions. They have their place in heaven also.
WORD SUGGESTIONS
A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels' bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old man's milk and then he too took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either, he just backed his big-rig over three motorcycles."
