Many people will know that sulky means huffish, sullen or moody.
But did you know that a sulky was a form of one-person horse-drawn light carriage in Victorian times or a low two-wheeled cart sometimes used in harness racing. I have mentioned a few carriages in the past on this blog but I have just come across a great list for anyone who is interested on a site called
phrontistery.
Actually, I did know that - it is one of those strange tidbits I have picked up somewhere, somewhen, stored in my brain and never use it until I am reminded by it through, for instance, a blog entry.
