Assuming you are on a bicycle - right? Whew! That's dangerous - and besides, it's against the law here in the States, you are a vehicle and as such you must obey all vehicular laws too. Interesting though. 'Patting sheep' must be a thrill for an Upsidedowner - I know it would for me. Wait - you mean 'petting' right? Somehow 'patting' isn't quite the word I'd use.	SurferJoe46 (51)

Assuming you are on a bicycle - right? Metla was back in Wanganui for the weekend so no. The Napier to Gisborne road is a winding road with lots of corners which is good fun on a motor bike but a lot of people have the horrible habit of cutting corners which creates a bit more excitement than needed.:D	mikebartnz (21)

Or is it a null word, meaningless to the average American?	johcar (6283)

It could also be a baking/cooking instruction too::: 'I PAT the flour into a small cakes before I bake them' kinda thing-y . See? One can also 'pat' powder upon themselves, as a woman would use a powder puff to apply foundation - when women wore makeup, that was . 'Petting' has several connotations: 1) To embrace and fondle a person of the opposite sex, usually in the back seat of their father's 1959 Buick . 3) To show affection for an animal eg: dog, cat, penguin .

1206919	2011-06-09 05:44:00	You chaps have 1959 Buicks too? No, we have a word that precludes that, called taste.	Cicero (40)
1206920	2011-06-09 06:13:00	No, we have a word that precludes that, called taste. I used to think that way, too. But after a disastrous run with a XJ6C, Alfa Romeo and Porsche (their engineering too subtle for American mechanics used to big Detroit engine blocks), I relented and bought one of the truly nicest cars I've ever owned. A '78 (because that was 1978) Oldsmobile Toronado. I called her Stephanie after my then girlfriend. They were both sexy, fast, and sultry. Comfort? We won't go there ;)	WalOne (4202)
