Why are well cared for lawns referred to as manicured but not pedicured?

The care of the lawns is basically comparable to the care of the nails which involves trimming, shaping, and polishing to be well groomed. The principles in the grooming of the lawn applies the same principles as in the care of the nails which are termed as manicure for the hands and pedicure for the feet. The term manicure however is the preferred term used based on the fact that pedicure basically means a manicure for the feet.Why are well cared for lawns referred to as manicured but not pedicured?
Because manicure means to trim or cut meticulously - and that doesn't just apply to fingernails.





Pedicure is just a modern twist on the term manicure to mean a manicure for the toenails (ped meaning feet).Why are well cared for lawns referred to as manicured but not pedicured?
Because they don't smell as bad as feet!
The most likely reason that this is referred to as being ';Manicured';, but not ';Pedicured'; Lawn Treatment, is because for the most likely reason is that there's a 'clipping' motion going with the grass cut, instead of a ';pedicure'; by just moving it by hand, if you get what I'm saying(Just touching it and giving it feeling is somewhat ';pedicure'; reference). Most of action going on is by hand, so that's why it's called a Manicure; Manicure came from the Latin words meaning manus, meaning ';hand,'; and cura meaning ';care';.








Hopefully that helped you out.
Because you clip them with your hands not your feet.
Could be because the finish work on a lawn is done with your hands not your feet.
Part of the definition of the word ';manicure';: To clip or trim evenly and closely; such as, ';His job was to manicure the hedge.';

  • Does Obama's Health care include Manicures?..because my nails need doing.?

    yes, and weaves too..along with iPod, blackberries, tattoos and massagesDoes Obama's Health care include Manicures?..because my nails need doing.?
    Hand and foot nails. Small toe and small finger manicures are excluded due to risk factors increasing insurance costs which have been forbidden under your plan.





    You cant get those toes or fingers done under ANY legal plan anymore. The risk factors are too great.





    Also, if you have it done on the street it is being done illegally and you can be fined up to $150,000 and face up to 8 years in prison.Does Obama's Health care include Manicures?..because my nails need doing.?
    No, but I hope they include stomach stapling for the morbidly obese people of the red states.
    The fact is that nails can cause infection. If they aren't included you should call your senator and demand it.
    In his plan, he would just have the doctors cut off your legs at the hips, to cover up the problem of needing a manicure.
    Can Princess define ';massage';? I may be interested.
    Yes, but only for people named Katey, because you're so....special.
    No but if you move to South korea you'll be covered
    Yes, but no racist colors
    LMAO

    Manicures: do men really care about women's nails?

    or is it just a personal preferance for a woman?Manicures: do men really care about women's nails?
    No. Women make womens lives difficult.





    I couldnt care less before. But since women mentioned it... Id prefer to see a French tip thanks!Manicures: do men really care about women's nails?
    NO!
    I'm going to guess that some men do, and others don't. I'm not fence sitting, but I see that none of the guys who've answered seem to care about nails, but I have met some men who do care...not a whole bunch, but they certainly notice or take note of well manicured hands. They don't like acrylic or overly long nails, but seem to appreciate a woman who has nicely shaped and unpolished nails.
    I don't care about nails. If anything, I like it better when women don't do anything to their nails. I like the natural look. Makeup, jewelery, nail polish, and so forth just aren't my cup of tea.
    Not even for a second. Matter of fact I cant even remember the last time I noticed the color of a womans nails.
    It is not the first thing we look at but they are part of your overall appearance. Sooner or later, men look at every aspect of a woman, not just breasts and butt.
    Noooooooo
    no i think the nail thing is about competition with other women. its like penis envy, men are the ones that are jealous about what size somebody else is.
    not really do I care - and suspect we care.


    reasonably tidy sure - like clipped (or whatever)





    you gals tend to take things to extremes.


    And to be honest you gals appear to be checking each other out more than checking out how much us guys are checking you out.





    just what i've observed. Just my view.
    I;m not a man...but I know that nice nails are one of the things men notice. Men hate bitten or badly cared for nails....they also like clean, soft hair....not hair which is cobvered in product.
    No, No, No.
    No, men don't care about women's nails, for the same reason they don't care about the type of shoes, handbag or clothes you have on.





    Only other women care about those things.
    have you ever had a man with ugly toes? same thing ugly toes are terrible at least a pedicure gets out the rough spots and makes your feet look better i think pretty feet are important and besides the pedicure makes you feel good and gilry
    no unless their really dirty. but other wise no.
    Maybe a pair of hands and/or feet with bloodred nails can be enticing, but I think it's pretty low on men's lists when considering how attractive a woman is. I only paint my nails when I feel like it.

    Guys, do you care if a girl's nails are manicured?

    Does it make a difference to you? Just wondering, because I keep mine neat and trim and clean underneath. Paying every several weeks to get them manicured just isn't in my budget and it's a hassle. Plus, they just seem really fake.





    Guys, do you care? What do you think?





    And girls, do you get your nails done regularly?Guys, do you care if a girl's nails are manicured?
    I don't mind. But what I mind are those long fake nails...ughGuys, do you care if a girl's nails are manicured?
    I personally don't like manicured nails done by a professional. If they are manicured that tends to say that they are a high maintenance woman.
    they don't care


    I don't get them done regularly.
    I don't think they really care.
    I doubt they care.


    I get my done like, once a year maybe.
    i get mines done once every 2 weeks


    my boyfriend doesnt care

    They say every 2 -3 weeksHow to take care of hands and feet?How frequent manicure and pedicure should be done?
    once in a monthHow to take care of hands and feet?How frequent manicure and pedicure should be done?
    manicure when your nails break crack,and if wearing polish when it starts to peel off . pedicures sometimes turn the nails yellow .


    pedicure when your feet get rough skin.
    You should keep your hands and feet clean by washing them with savlon once a week.If you can't then go for manicures and pedicures once a month.While getting your nails shaped get them shaped into squares as it is in fashion these days.Put the transparent nail-polish on your hands and red (if very fair complexion) otherwise black.But the best manicure is french manicure.
    Every Month u shud go for a manicure and a pedicure session.


    Hand And Feet Care:-


    Keep them well moisturised and neat with nails in proper shape and size and well painted.


    U can rub lemon once a week on ur hands and feet to make them fairer


    U can use a mixture of glicerine and lemon at night to keep hands and feet soft in Winters.


    Moreover keep them covered while in sun and use a good sun screen with a high SPF.


    Not to say - keep them waxed.

    Guys, do you really care if a girl has a manicure or pedicure as long as her hands/feet are not digusting?

    NO. They're mainly for her sake (like makeup is).Guys, do you really care if a girl has a manicure or pedicure as long as her hands/feet are not digusting?
    I think not because guys will always look at your boobs then the face, if you get what I mean.Guys, do you really care if a girl has a manicure or pedicure as long as her hands/feet are not digusting?
    no, and you can also go to far, like all the fake nails and stuff, WTF?
    I really don't mind, I go for sweet/cute girls =)
    exactly. i mean, it looks nice and all but it's not a ';necessity';. most of the time we don't even notice. I think it's a girl thing for other girls to notice.
    I wouldn't even care, I'm not paticular on that type of stuff.
    I think a girl having a manicure and/or pedicure is sexy myself it shows she is a girly girl and likes to take care of her self!
    hello.


    so long as its clean :)
    Polish and fake nails are not needed but clean soft hands and feet are a necessity. You should have both done every two weeks, I do. My girlfriend loves it.
    I don't care if a girl has a manicure/pedicure or whatever, as long as they are clean like you said.
    no, i dont care, as long as they are nice and can tolerate my awful jokes
    does not matter
