http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary Main Entry: flax·en Pronunciation: 'flak-s&n Function: adjective Date: 15th century 1 : made of flax 2 : resembling flax especially in pale soft strawy color <flaxen hair> |
ENSMALL: to make smaller (come on, we say "enlarge," why not ensmall?) |
scrustard pie - self-explanatory. |
now keep your scrungy old inventions out of this thread. |

|
Plus, come on, when you hear the term 'flaxen hair', an image immediatley springs to mind of wht that looks like, right? |
Flaxen is a word I'm rather fond of, actually. |
Akthough it's fun to think about Robert Plant singing "Scrustard Pie". |
look through the dictionary at words beginning with various prefixes (en-, mis-, un-); it's funny what's actually there. you may not be able to ensmall, but you can: encyst, englut, ensoul, ensphere to name but a few. encyst me with your love. |

no. it means "a food or drug that promotes or increases the flow of a mother's milk. - origin mid 19th cent.: from Greek gala, galakt- 'milk' + agogos 'leading'." others: galactorrhea - "excessive or innappropriate production of milk", not a galaxy that needs cosmic pepto-bismol. galactoside - some kind of milk sugar. not to be confused with "galactocide", the impulse to destroy the galaxy. |
