Talk:Knacker

message: In at least some parts of England (possibly all) and Scotland, testicles are often referred to as knackers, presumably because they hurt easily and "knack" is often used in the north in the sense of "ow, that knacked!" when people hurt themselves.

thread_title:  Knackers = testicles. 

message: I took the liberty of adding some very basic references about the use of Knackered to describe tiredness in general, not generally sexually related. This is a very common use of the word at least as far as Ireland is concerned.

thread_title:  Edit 

message: Currently Wikipedia only has "Knacker" as being a horse dealer.
In the first world war, the German Army forced people from Northen-Germany who felt they were danish. The German officials thought that when these people spoke (Southen-Jutlandic dialect of Danish) it sounded like when you knacked nutshells and nick-named them "Knackers".
I think there should be another article with the title "Knacker (danish soldier)" which contains this information.

message: This term is mentioned in the "Slang" section as being used in Australia. However, a Google search stripping out pages mentioning Wikipedia (like this) gets precisely nine hits. Something's not right here. Loganberry (Talk) 01:59, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Knackerjeemid"? 

message: "A horse carcass, rendered, had many uses. In the U.S., the meat could be used as food at a mink ranch, pig farm, fox farm, or greyhound race track, or in pet food. Bones were ground up for bone meal fertilizer. Hides were made into leather or, along with joints and hooves, processed to make glue for the furniture and book binding trades (hence the idea of old horses being sent to the glue factory)."
Why is this in past tense? All the information is still true and current. 14.203.212.31 (talk) 06:31, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
