What is the meaning of led - bearded garburator ?
Well, It's seems that I ask a lot today :) sorry for that, here is another question and maybe is the most complex word for me.
"I'm not going to eat goat during Ramadan, I will not fill my stomach with led after a long day of fasting, also a goat is a bearded garburator".
The problem here is "led" , "bearded garburator" It's a really confusing word.
Here is what I've done to help myself understand this word (I failed actually) :
First, let's break down that word into to words :
Bearded : It's adjective from beard (hair growing on an animal’s chin) So we can say that bearded mean something that has a lot of hair (maybe on animal chin)
Garburator : It's an equipment that instilled under the sink so you can put your waste materials into the sink hole directly and the garburator will cut them into a very small pieces so It can move smoothly through the pipe.
So, when we put them together we get a noun which mean garburator that has a lot of hair inside it because when you cut the goat by yourself and if you put his wast in the garburator than the garburator will be filed with beard or hair and finally we got a bearded garburator.
Is this right ? I'm very confused with this word.
And what is the led mean ?
Thank you very much to read all this and sorry for that I just want to make sure that you understand my problem.

Incidentally: the word "led" (rhymes with "red") does exist in English; it is the simple past and the past participle of the irregular verb "lead". The base form "lead" rhymes with the simple present of the verb "read".
I agree with both of the other people who answered that "led" does not make sense in your context, and I also agree with them that the correct word is the noun "lead" (pronounced the same as "led"), and I also agree with everything they say about how to understand the word "lead" in your context.

Ahoy again Eslam,
I’m not sure what you mean about jumping lead. What I was referring to was the physical density of the metal “lead” (Pb on the periodic table). Have you ever held a piece of lead in your hand? It is always surprisingly heavy for its size. In English sometimes when we eat a certain type of meal that is especially fatty or filling, it is said to be a heavy meal. I think the speaker does not want to eat a heavy meal on an empty stomach.

Thank you both David :)
Well, lets start with "led" I defiantly now that there is something wrong with this word since I can't find it at any dictionary over the internet so while the chat is about goat I thought that they are talking about the goat's skin (as a idiom) ?
I don't know David (without harris) what are your mean about the "lead" that is heavy !! ? Do you mean "jump leads" ??
I think you both write a good meaning about what is the speaker really want to say about bearded garburator.
So, to understand what you've just said, I can omit the bearded and say :
A goat is a garburator (Canadian) or garbage disposal (American).
That is mean, goat is eating everything around him whatever it found !!, and of courser I'm not going to eat animal that eat everything even if this thing is garbage!!!
Is this right ?
Thank you both and sorry for my terrible English.

Howdy Eslam,
Let me see if I can interpret this somewhat unusual sentence. Let’s start off with what I am sure of:
Garburator - this, as you ascertained, is what is also commonly called a “garbage disposal” (this is much more common in my American lexical experience). Now, goats are infamous for eating anything right? If you have ever been around goats you might have experienced them trying to eat your shirt hem, or anything you might be holding. So the implication is that a goat is full of trash it has eaten, and is therefore not delectable.
Bearded- goats, especially billy goats, often have a tuft of hair growing from their chin. It is famously discussed in the children’s story The Three Billy Goats Gruff, in which goats say “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!” So this is just describing the hirsute nature of the goat.
Now as for led - I’m not certain, but I think this may be a misspelling of lead? Now, lead is notable for its weight right? So my assumption is that a big ol’ goat feast after a day of fasting might be uncomfortable in the stomach because it is a greasy, meaty, filling meal, the type of food that might be described as “heavy”.
So I reckon this sentence means that the speaker does not want to consume a heavy meal to break his fast, especially not when it consists of the meat of a hairy, trash eating animal.
