Word: shedless Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From shed + -less. 1. Without a shed (outbuilding). Labels: not-comparable Example: MEDIEVAL RURAL LIFE AND ORGANIZATION. The manorial village. Let us refresh our memory at first with a glance at country life in England in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. All rural life in England at this time was village life. Farmhouses were gathered into clusters sheltering a population ranging from fifty to a thousand persons. Radiating from and circling around each village were the plowlands, pastures, meadows, and woodlands, spreading open; for the most part houseless, barnless, shedless, mill-less, even fenceless, clear to the similar lands, commons, and open fields belonging to the inhabitants of each adjoining village. The landscape picture presented, then, is a village cluster, surrounded at the extremities of irregular radii by a ring of similar clusters, all varying in size but separated from one another by open, unfenced, agricultural land. But the memory of each villager sticks to his own parcels of land, whether held individually or in common, so definitely, that, even without ditch, wall, or survey stakes, a clean-cut, psychological boundary, very irregular in shape it may be surmised, divides the lands of one village from the lands of every adjoining village, and sets apart a certain group of villagers as a distinctive agricultural community. Example: The train landed us on a shedless shelterless platform and we had to run through the downpour across the line to the shelter.

Of or pertaining to David Keith Lynch (1946–2025), American filmmaker and director whose surrealist films are characterized by dreamlike imagery, sound design, and narrative, juxtapositions of the mundane and the grotesque, and an air of mystery or unease.

[…] I've noted since 1986 (when Blue Velvet was released) that a good 65 percent of the people in metropolitan bus terminals between the hours of midnight and 6 A.M. tend to qualify as Lynchian figures-grotesque, enfeebled, flamboyantly unappealing, freighted with a woe out of all proportion to evident circumstances.

Aren't these some kind of, how do you call it, vagina dentata, dental vaginas threatening to swallow you?
