@criver While yes that is true, it is not widely known by the average person, and Oscar is definitely not the kind of person to use it. Also it said herd in the raws and that reminded me of that old commercial where they were herding cats.
I'd say most people are probably familiar with the 15th century Book of St. Albans, or The Book of Hawking, Hunting, and Blasing of Arms. Is that not required reading in middle school in your country?
@tanukihat I'm west coast Canadian. I feel like I heard of those but I don't think they were mandatory, but English was by far my worst subject so I could be forgetting them.
I also heard the phrase "like trying to herd cats" quite a bit growing up, so mixed with a pretty popular commercial where they herd cats the idea of a heard of cats just stuck with me.
