I only just found out that "manger" isn't a synonym for crib, but a trough for feeding animals

When I was little, I thought a “manger” was another word for a “stable.” Mainly because the bible says Mary and Joseph “laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn.” So I figured the manger was shelter, like the inn would have been. I grew up in the suburbs and had no experience with mangers or stables.

I think I learned the correct meaning before adulthood, though.

I thought that “manger” was a synonym for “stable” up to the point at which I read this thread just now. :smack:
