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.

What is the 'familiar' meaning as a noun ?
Hi, everyone
Well, while I watching the "V For Vendetta" movie I realized that the familiar word using as a NOUN not as ADJECTIVE and I haven't any problem with it as a adjective since It's basically mean "well known", but It getting me confused when I saw it in the movie. Here is the sentence :
"the security of the familiar"
So, my question is what is "the familiar" really mean here ?
I have looked at the Longman dictionary and I can't find the right meaning, but I have a guess that It's probably mean "something that we known it very well". Is that right ?
Thank you for helping me.
