a large hypodermic
needle used to inject a
fluid into a horse.
n. a coined
term for an extremely large hypodermic syringe. Hypodermic means under the skin (hypo under and derm the skin). A hypodermic syringe consists of a hollow cylinder that is filled with medication, and a plunger that when pushed down forces the medication through a hollow
needle (pressed under the skin) and into the
subject receiving the
shot. Horse, as used here, means unusually large.
