Trivia: Halter Necks

by smitikumar

For something which I personally find extremely attractive, halter necks have a definitely unsexy name.
The word itself is derived from Germanic words meaning ‘that by which something is held’ according to Wikipedia.
Halter may be used to refer to something you put on a domesticated animal to lead it by. Very medieval and uncomfortable looking contraption.

That’s what it look’s like. Picture courtesy Wikipedia.
Even more sinister the term may refer to a rope for execution by hanging or simply death by hanging.

So here’s a picture of a horse (source Wikipedia) flaunting a halter.

And that’s me in my favourite halter top.
