What’s a “Team”?

The word “Team” derives from the use of oxen or bullocks shackled together to create a focused, shared force for transporting heavy materials.

    Wow, I didn’t know this!
    Actually, a lot of meanings and words derives from the fields work, especially those made with the use of oxes.

    I remember how surprised I was when I recognized the political term ‘maverick’ was in fact referred to a special kind of ox in the agricultural sphere.

    Or, how curious I was discovering how bostonian wasps call themselves: ‘brahmins’.

    Much of these, actually does seem to be american-made epithet.

    Ah, and there’s a kind of bred called ‘chevrolet’ too. But, um, maybe this has nothing to meddle with politics. 😉
