tazzieman Posted 14June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 14June, 2018 Apparently it refers to a type of horse found in Uzbekistan. They eat horses there. Nothing wrong with that, just a different breed of horse lovers. If you delve deeper , you can khan sort the horses from the goats https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/тәкә Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 14June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 14June, 2018 OK I got home and consulted my Ancient Norse Mythology tome. A Taycan was a non-firebreathing dragon that ate coal and farted silently. So now you know. Tick the name delete option. It'll cost you more but you'll thank me.

Spectre Posted 14June, 2018 Report Share Posted 14June, 2018 It's got superchargers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 14June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 14June, 2018 6 minutes ago, Spectre said: It's got superchargers ? Then they should have called it the Destrier "The word destrier does not refer to a breed, but to a type of horse: the finest and strongest warhorse. These horses were usually stallions, bred and raised from foalhood specifically for the needs of war. The destrier was also considered the most suited to the joust; coursers seem to have been preferred for other forms of warfare.[4] They had powerful hindquarters, able to easily coil and spring to stop, spin, turn or sprint forward. " But Taycan will go down well in Asia, the main market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
