Greg_W Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 "farinaceous", 1) Made from, rich in, or composed of starch. 2) Powdery or mealy in texture. Ran across this word in Sir Ernest Shackleton's "South"; his account of the loss of the Endeavor. He was commenting that, though they had plenty of seal meat (read, "protein") and blubber (read "fat") to feast on, they were still weakened due to the lack of farinaceous foods in their diet. I read that as carbohydrates. Homework: Use in a sentence during your casual conversations today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg_W Posted January 21, 2003 Author Share Posted January 21, 2003 That's a good one, Caveman. How 'bout this one: pusillanimous - Faint-hearted; cowardly This word is mainly used by trad climbers when looking at a Dr. Flush Amusing sketch between body-length bolts.

Not true, Klank. The discussion of diet and amount of proteins and farinaceous vittles is key to good climbing trip nutrition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Farinaceous etc are pointless words because you wil nevere make them in scrabble. The good words are two letter ones like od a hypothetical supernatural force and oe a Whirlwind off the Faroe Islands , and li a Chinese measure of area You win a lot of games knowing these ones!
