Mathijs A Stones boot from Norfolk 1972 is called "Grass Widow", does any of you natice English speakers tell me what this means? As far as I know "grass communication" means snitching, but grass widow??

Sir Stonesalot It's the window that you use to give your pot plants sunlight. Sort of like a "window garden". People in the city have these have these things called a "window box" that they grow things in, since they don't have a yard in which to plant things.

Mathijs but that would be a grass window, and not a grass widow...?

Sir Stonesalot I see my attempt at wordplay humor went out the grass window.

OK, seriously, here's the real deal. A grass widow is a cow.

Stay with me on this.

Here in the States we have the "football widow", the "hunting widow", the "drinking widow"...a woman who does not get to see her man much because of some sports season or whatever. During a Stones tour, my wife would be a "Stones widow".

Now cows spend lots of time eating grass. So when the cow is without her bull, it is a "grass widow", because the bull is off eating grass all the time.

OK, that's all bullshit(ba-rump-bump).

I think it's a typo. I've never heard of the saying "grass widow".

Mathijs I worked for the Shell company in Israel and West-Africa for two years, and I had to keep filling in "grass widow" forms in order to get salary -so the explanation of "when somebody's off to work" sounds reasanable to me!
