Thixotropic

[Hopkirk]

Word of the day.

It's such fun to say.

[david small]

Brylcreem?

[retrocop]

So was Hygroscopic. A new word I learnt when being taught the principles of hydraulic breaking systems and the cause of its failure.

[Hazlinny]

Does one need a lisp?

[Hopkirk]

Well you have educated me Cop.

I always thought it was hydroscopic, but it seems I have been wrong all these years.

[mushroom25]

still not as pleasurable as "flange", or "moist"........

[jourdain2]

Yes, I came across 'thixotropic' many years ago in a novel in which seemingly solid earth could become a mudslide.  Then there were the paints, of course. Agree, it's a nice one to say.

Calamari is also lovely to say. :)

Hydraulic breaking systems?

I know they say language is fluid but, come on.

Nice word Hopps. I'm very familiar with thixotropic wood glues.

Always a pleasure  to use  🤣

Re-assuring to see Mushroom managing to squeeze in the 'M' word too.

Personally, I've always had trouble with ................  'fondle'.

There is no way that word could ever be justified in polite company 😋

[DTCwordfan]

knackers.....

[Lie-in King]

Great, now I've got "fondle a moist flange" stuck in my head 🤪

[The Builder]

Mr King .... I think we need to talk 😋

[Canary42]

Ed will have a fit if he spot that LIK 😁

[bednobs]

Jourdain was that Book landslide?That's where I read it previously

[Canary42]

Another one I like (it's fun learning to get them right) is

Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen by the sea

Ellenbogen's just an elbow

 

[Canary42]

What an interesting find jno. I wonder if that's where the songwriters got it from.

[retrocop]

Awful song. Awful singer. Dreadful Physician.

[jourdain2]

bednobs, yes, I think so.  There were quite a few by the same author, all very exciting, whose name I can't remember!
