Observations Backlog 4 - Deliquesce

#1 Post by SportsFan68 » Sat Mar 17, 2012 4:39 pm

Many years ago, when I lived in a house where the kitchen had three window exposures to the sun throughout the day, I came home to find the butter deliquesced into a puddle in the butter dish.

I think you should defenestrate that deliquesced butter...
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Thanks, Sprots! I remember looking this up, along with effloresce, when this song appeared on The Chills' 1990 Album "Submarine Bells." It was my favorite album for a while bitd. Your post made me dust off the CD and play it again. THANK YOU!!!

The Chills - Effloresce and Deliquesce


Here are my favorites from that album...

The Chills - Familiarity Breeds Contempt (with Lyrics)


The Chills - Dead Web


The Chills - Singing in My Sleep


The Chills - The Oncoming Day


The Chills - Don't Be - Memory

I dint think of this until I read your observation, DK -- you're absolutely right . . .

I'm surprised Sprots didn't use her experience with ES showing up at the back door for her example....

LOL, LB!

If you think the word means what I think you think (since you referenced a mangy rodent at a back door as an example), the word does not mean what you think it means.

Maybe a dead mangy rodent at the back door?

I'm sure you have deliquesced many times upon seeing your favorite cute little rodent poke his adorable fuzzy face in through your screen door......

YAY!
