alexz commented on the word fangled
An 1886 article where they say dictionary makers got the meaning of 'Fangled' wrong.
https://books.google.ca/books?id=WkwAAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA86
'In the north of Ireland the word "fangled " is still used in the sense of entangled or trammelled. I may give as a homely illustration of the use of the word, " the cow has got fangled in her tether," i.e., she has entangled her legs in her tether.'
