theidolhands.livejournal.comHa·ha (hä'hä'):
origin: said to be French (18th century), from the exclamation made when one accidently discovers one!
noun
A sunken fence or boundary marker, particularly used within British estates & murder mysteries.
Livestock, usually sheep, were utilized for grazing before the common use of electric lawnmowers; a "ha-ha" allowed them to feed on large estates, while keeping them off the lawn and gardens adjoining the house without a visible barrier -- thus allowing an unobstructed view as well!
