skipvia Har! Who knows where that lock has been?... Nov 5, 2007
reesetee *carefully brushes dangling lock of hair away from forehead* Nov 5, 2007
skipvia I just ran across another definition of "feak" while doing a bit of sleuthing on feague. "Feak" is also obsolete British slang for "anus," which makes sense when you consider the meaning of "feague."
So in this sense, seanahan, it's an ugly word for a...ummm...non-cute thing. Nov 5, 2007
reesetee It is, isn't it? I'd have thought it would be something like froodle. ;-) Oct 4, 2007
seanahan This is an ugly word for such a cute thing. Oct 4, 2007
reesetee A curling lock of hair, especially one that is dangling. Oct 3, 2007
