ah ha... a ha ha

[Samuel Moyer]

Today's "Word of the Day" (http://wordsmith.org/awad/) is ha ha.  

ha-ha (ha-ha) noun 

Sunk fence. 

[From French haha, reduplicative of ha!, exclamation of surprise, that might come out when tripped by such an obstacle.] 



I had to look this word up the first time through M&D, I think it comes up at least twice...  but I am forwarding this to the list since it also provides a couple photos of a ha ha.

enjoy,  Sam
