I am very amused by the fact that the adopted abbreviation for "friends-locked" appears to be "flocked".

'Cause you know, that's what geese do.

No, they definitly flock, that's how come shephards watch them by night. They then herd them down lanes, which now I come to think of it is silly. Why aren't they shepflocks?

It's herd of cows (of course I've heard of cows!)
