Did you know that those words describe a coat of arms?
(Not any specific one, though. I just made it up for this thread.)
I had no idea.
I got the gist but didn’t understand all of it.
I normally put a coat on my arms.
Prior to this post I wasn’t familiar with the word “gules” but the description seems highly unlikely.
whats a gule
gules
?yo?olz/
noun
noun: gules
red, as a heraldic tincture.
(And I had assumed it meant gold, i.e. yellow.)
My gules means you obey my rules.
Coming back to this now, I realized that if “gules” was red,
“rouge,” which I had thought was red in this context, might
not be. This turned out to be correct. “Rouge” is not part
of heraldic terminology, and its inclusion was a mistake.
