I always thought cosh was a hyperbolic cosine, equivalent to (exp(x) + exp(-x) )/2

 

Which begs the question...why is Liam Neeson using a conic section to hunt someone down? Are they stuck somewhere in an Anti De Sitter space?

It looks like he's coshed himself with his mouth ????

[Joe Mcseismic]

Let me guess...........it's white people outraged on behalf of black people.

 

Why can you say white people and black people, but, you can't say white barsteward and black barsteward?

I would say that revenge would be a totally natural response after a friend had been attacked, and a cosh is something that you hit someone over the head with, usually a softer but heavier version of a truncheon, and often filled with lead shot.

In the US it's referred to as a "black-jack".

A soft version of a cosh filled with lead shot is called a sap. 

 

A truncheon is a type of cosh.

 

Sorry don't mean to be pedantic.

so which one is the "cosh"

Liam Neeson's predicament appears to be either an over embellishment or downright porkie that was supposed to put bums on chairs at the cinema but has backfired. A decent scriptwriter should find a way out without too much damage.

Liam Neeson must have had an almighty Brain-Fart! To say that to a journalist what did he think the fall out was gonna be?

 

But at least he showed its not just Black Men, Scots/Welsh/Brits and for some reason Lithuanians...?

 

He's smoking some good $ hit!!
