Hey, thank Geo - s/he listed it. I'm just the one who provided the cite.
You may be right, oroboros--I'm no pismirologist. ;-)
re: formic acid. I thought ants were MADE of formic acid, i.e., main constituent of their exoskeletons. Now I'm gonna haf to fine out...
How 'bout pismigrate? ;o)
I *love* this word! Thank you, arby.
So related to formic acid, which is secreted by ants. Sure doesn't *sound* ant-related. :-)
I thought Ninjawords was having a larff but Webster's agrees:
To creep or crawl like ants; swarm with, or as with, ants.
An open space which formicated with peasantry. --Lowell.
Genius!!
What does it mean?
