My Latin does not match Faldage's but I believe it means "Let it be so." And Wordwind, I am deeply regretful that you do not share my feelings about "flense" meaning quite a different action from "rasp". To me the difference is one of the reasons we study words.
Just to tease you, I suggest you inform yourself, if you do not already know it, about the rasping texture of the cat's tongue, and the peculiar similarity with the tomcat's treasure, which in operation elicits a ludicrous alternately gratified and outraged vocalization from the recipient.

Huh? re:to suggest to the weevils that they should exfenestrate themselves.
so you'd call the little tube they gnawed for them selves windows? maybe..
and wouldn't the weevils (if they are the same weevils i have been known to get in the summer) be pupa of a small moth? no crustie outer shell- just soft fatty little pupa. and you'd knock the biscuit to dislodge the dust-like frass..
(frass being the correct term, as i recall for insect excretia..) the pupa, would still be latched on, since they glue themselve on with something like saliva...
sometimes i think we are entirely too squimish-- while i don't make a habit of eating insects.. a ant here or there is no big deal. -- but remember the old kids joke..
whats worse than finding a worm in your apple?
Finding half a worm!
