I will, I promise. As soon as you stop asking me to. ;->

7 months ago uselessness said:

Oh, good. Forget I ever said anything, then.

No really. Forget I ever said anything.

7 months ago reesetee said:

Hey, thanks for the tip of the hat up there! And thanks also for not including smegma. Uselessness? Eeew.

7 months ago mollusque said:

Thanks for all the comments! I'm collecting names for things that are byproducts with little or no value. "Scree" fits, but "smegma" and "lagan" don't. Smegma might be gross, but it has a biological function, like mucus or sweat. (I specifically excluded synonyms of excrement, which could be fertile grounds for another list, although dreck and feculence snuck onto this one.)

Lagan might fit on Valse's Leftovers , which includes things that might be of value. (Of course some of the things on my list might prove to be valuable as raw materials for producing biofuels.)

See also lagan. My understanding is that the olde English meaning of lagan included anything valuable that had sunk to the bottom of the sea and was therefore deemed to belong to the Crown.

I don't see scree. That's a good one.

7 months ago uselessness said:

Gross. Can I anonymously suggest smegma? I can't? Crap.

7 months ago chained_bear said:

Yeah, really. Eeew! Cool list!

7 months ago reesetee said:

What a great list! Who knew there were so many terms for dreck? :-)
