Like my brain
Putrefaction

Ah yes! Suppuration or Pururation.

So...we just have to add Bleeding and think of a word for hair dropping off (not 'balding' - I mean the normal, constant hair loss from any part of the body which may or may not be mitigated by hair growth).

I think exfoliation covers hair...


I just looked up 2 word anagrams formed by the first letters... the first one that came up is really funny...

Here's the list:

REFUELLED SPERMS
PERFUMED SELLERS
PERFUMED RESELLS
PERFUSED SMELLER
PRESUMED FELLERS

You ought to take this list:

Respiration
Perspiration
Expectoration
Exfoliation
Lacrimation
Eructation
Flatulation
Urination
Defaecation
Regurgitation
Ejaculation
Sternutation
Menstruation
Lactation
Suppuration

refine it somewhat, do definitions and explanations, and submit it as a Guide Entry.

(and DROP the puking shark thing)

a)No idea but I bet it's disgusting!
b)wounds are said to be sloughing when the minging old skin and stuff is falling off!
c)shedding is the verb, just like for a dog!!

I think hair loss is covered by exfoliation and a bit of housekeeping

Defaecation
Ejaculation
Eructation
Exfoliation
Expectoration
Flatulation
Lactation
Respiration
Perspiration
Lacrimation
Menstruation
Regurgitation
Sternutation
Suppuration
Urination

Quelle bonne ideé!

Collaborative entry? If not - I'll happily give it a whirl.

Well,... exfoliation seems to deal only with skin cells...

Hair loss is stumping me so far... the best word for it I've found so far is alopecia...

I'm looking for that "-tion" word.

What do les dames do for a Brazilian or a Califonian ?

ah - now I don't think that deliberate acts should count either (waxing, shaving, hairdressing, amputation, circumcision.....)

We use Epilation!!!!!!!

Just checked on http://dictionary.reference.com/

Epilation is the medical term for hair loss.

Depilation is what it's called when you do it yourself.

Respiration
Perspiration
Expectoration
Sternutation
Exfoliation
Epilation
Lacrimation
Lactation
Eructation
Flatulation
Urination
Defaecation
Regurgitation
Ejaculation
Menstruation
Suppuration


I don't like alphabetical order... I'm sorta going in order of "grossness"

Epilate means to remove hair. Hair is a modified form of skin and keratinization is the medical term for the process whereby cells form and die. Exfoliate gets my vote so far.

Great idea for a PR though.

Depilation is definitely an act of removing hair..

Epilation is a synonym but can mean simply "hair loss"

Exfoliation is skin cells... (I thought it was hair loss as well, but I was apparently mistaken.)

First puking sharks and now this.

Luckily I don't understand half of the terms.





>>Another acquired taste...'Salty Herrings' - Swedish licorice sweeties, covered in salt and flavoures with...ammonium hydrochloride. The taste is akin to eating a Pontefract cake while someone p---es into your mouth! (I'd imagine)<<

Nah, it's good.

What is there to say?

Clarification: I have direct experience of Salty Herrings. I do not have experience of that other thing.

>>I don't like alphabetical order... I'm sorta going in order of "grossness"

Err...ejaculation and menstruation are grosser than urination and defecation? Each to his/her own, I guess. Have you tried Salty Herrings?
