A.
A rabbit punch also known as a "Coleman Punch" is a punch to the neck or to the base of the skull. It is considered dangerous because it can damage the cervical vertebrae and subsequently the spinal cord, which may lead to serious spinal cord injury or even death. For this reason the punch is illegal in boxing and many other combat sports that involve striking. The punch's name is derived from the use of the technique by hunters to kill rabbits with a quick, sharp strike to the back of the head, for instance using a blunt object such ...(Answered by NC)

what does the word brer mean ? such as brer rabbit.? ... (Asked by bow)
View Entire Question \| Report Abuse \| Similar Questions \| See it in Y!
A.
It's a slang term for 'Brother'. Ideally it would be spelled Br'er Rabbit, the apostrophe showing the missing letters 'oth'. Brer Rabbit was the main hero in the Uncle Remus stories from about 100 years ago and I enjoyed reading them as a child in the 1950's. They were set in eastern USA, Mississippi, I think, and Brer Rabbit lived in a brier patch. He was always on the lookout for Brer Wolf, who wanted to eat him and many of the stories revolved around the wicked wolf and Brer Rabbit's cleverness in always outwitting him. All the animals ...(Answered by quatt47)

A.
The State Barrier Fence of Western Australia[4], formerly known as the No. 1 Rabbit-Proof Fence. The State Vermin Fence and the Emu Fence, is a barrier initially constructed between 1901 and 1907 to keep rabbits and other agricultural pests out of Western Australian pastoral areas. There are three fences; the original No. 1 Fence, which crosses the state from north to south, the No. 2 Fence which is smaller and further west, and the smaller east-west running No. 3 fence. The fences took six years to build and when completed in 1907, the Rabbit-Proof Fence (encompassing all three fences) stretched ...(Answered by Traveler)
