8:58 am

MLFAN17

Clotted cream (Cornish: dehen molys, sometimes called scalded, clouted, Devonshire or Cornish cream) is a thick cream made by indirectly heating full-cream cow's milk using steam or a water bath and then leaving it in shallow pans to cool slowly.

9:00 am

hurshy

9:00 am

hurshy

9:01 am

MLFAN17

hurshy exactly like something is wrong with it or it had to be made that way for something else

9:09 am

hurshy

i just had to stop monkeying for awhile to hold Rilla, only one hand free to type. it actually seemed to help, it forced me to think and be more selective about what was worth trying and find real words

9:09 am

hurshy

"caming" IS a word. It's what the lead in a stained glass window is called! It's not a new word, or a slang word, or a non-English word - poo!

4:41 pm

Gillie

It does seem to be a "industry" term, so likely fairly new, although the use of "came" for the same thing is older.

4:43 pm

Gillie

Merriam Webster has a definition for "came" (in this sense), but not "caming".

4:56 pm

I sometimes imagine an angry crowd of Babble players with picket signs, marching around Enable Nerd Headquarters.

5:42 pm

hokie carla

I might be in that crowd. I usually don't complain, figuring that obscure words are just that, but this one is not obscure.
