What makes people call black-and-white things "piebald"? It's used figuratively, but what's the figure? Here is the only thing I could think of: maybe "bald" means "white" as in bald eagle, with something dark like a chocolate pie thrown at it.
Could someone who knows the real answer please put it in the Wiktionary page?
Thanks
Thank you to whoever edited it! (I'm not a Wiktionary member, and couldn't make sense of the page history, so I don't know who added the explanation of the etymology.)
The page needs some kind of link to pied. --BjKa (talk) 09:37, 28 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
