Enjoyed this week's verbs, some unfamiliar. Love the sound of "decorticate." No matter what it really means, I can't help thinking of the Red Queen, shouting "Off with his head!" "Decorticate, now!"??

Decorticate is what happens to you when you lose the Cortaca Jug after having won it in the previous year.
