Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “collar.” Use it as a verb, a noun, or metaphorically. Bonus points for using it in all three ways! Enjoy!
Now there’s the ambiguous Dog Collar, that can mean a collar for a dog or a colour for for a vicar or priest. So that is our noun.
Or we could go down the police line , so we would get a verb. To collar, to arrest someone for a criminal act, you can say you felt someone’s collar, that is also an arrest! Also the past tense ” he collared the suspect.
There is also the good old fashioned collar on, a shirt a dress a coat. That like the top paragraph is a noun.
And here a metaphorical Tanka.
Tight around her neck
Like a noose sapping her air
Her badge of office
At births, deaths and marriages
It was always on there on show.
I think that fulfills the prompt .
This silliness was brought to you for LindaGHill’s Saturday Stream of Consciousness.

A knowledgeable overview, sweet doggie photo, and what I believe is a thoughtful, empathetic take on the responsibilities of clergy.

Thank you JoAnna, our Ruby is at the front with a pink collar, her friends are Harry with Red Collar and his new brother from another mother also with another red collar. And yes the metaphor Tanka was a hat tip to a female Vicar 💜🦮🦮🦮

Sounds like whoever the clergywoman is she doesn’t like the collar. I have heard their collars called ‘dog collars’ too. I wonder where that came from? The implication being that they are like dogs? or restrained.

Mainly they are to referred to as dog collars because they look like dog collars, eg, simply a round band.
