Tsuwm's wwftd, humectant, is actually quite a useful word. I found it in doznes of
sites about pharmaceuticals. Pipe tobacco ads used to dwell on it. And some
faunchy sites equate it with lubricity, lewdly.

faunchy (as per DARE)

Perhaps a bit of a Freudian self-portrait there, Dr. Bill?

Me to tsuwm, as I arrive to pick him up for our date: "You look positively faunchy tonight, my dear."

As I said recently, my typos get more attention than my orthographic efforts. faunchy = raunchy.

Do you need humectant before or after cruising the porn sites, Bill?

There you go again, Cap. What's up with you downunder? We all have to breathe the same air around here and you are giving off a bit of an odor. If you are trying to pick a fight with someone, please be a gentleman and take your fight outside.

Dear Wordminstrel: It's hell to be so old gals defend me.But I love it just the same.
I have needled CK so often, I would be hurt if he didn't retaliate a bit.
Well he knows I salivate salaciously.

Hey wordminstrel. Take a deep breath and chill out. This post to CapK and the one you made to modestgoddess on another thread are certainly the type of personal comments, if you feel they need to be said in such a tone at all (I dunno why), would best be said in private...that's what the PM is for.

Wise up, Wordminstrel. Don't stick your nose in where it certainly isn't needed. If I want to call Bill a humectant user and inquire when he uses it, that's between him and me.

Since you have given us no information about you - I understand from Bill's post that you may be female - I think you should keep your carping to yourself.

We have quite enough grisly eminences around here! And Bill's just the laddie to find them for you.

And I'm not down under.
