ostrich - Devil's Dictionary definition

n. A large bird to which (for its sins, doubtless) nature has denied that hinder toe in which so many pious naturalists have seen a conspicuous evidence of design. The absence of a good working pair of wings is no defect, for, as has been ingeniously pointed out, the ostrich does not fly.

ostrich - Foolish Dictionary definition

The largest and heaviest bird on earth, yet rated by his owners only as a featherweight.
