Webelos
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: An invented term that originated in the Boy Scouts of America c. 1954. The Bear Cub Scout Book of 1954 claims that "Webelos" is an American Indian tribe of which Akela is chief, and that the name comes from "Wolf, Bear, Lion, Scout." The rank of Lion Scout was later dropped, but the term "Webelos" was kept. Through folk etymology, it is now commonly stated that the term derives from "we'll be loyal Scouts," although this was not the term's original meaning.http://books.google.com/books?id=Nf0DAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA4&dq=webelo+scout+%22wolf%22+bear+lion&hl=en&sa=X&ei=fXSNUN_-C9S80QHW6IGYAg&ved=0CEUQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=webelo%20scout%20%22wolf%22%20bear%20lion&f=false

examples: Plate 165. THE JEW-FISH OR “WARSAW.” Promicrops guasa, Pooey. (P. 412)
Although the red grouper is indeed a large fish compared to most, often weighing forty pounds, it is almost a pigmy compared with a related fish of this family, the jew-fish, guasa, or Warsaw (Promicrops itaira). This fish is yellowish or olivaceous, sprinkled with numerous brown spots.
In the Atlantic (south) we have an allied form, the gansa or warsaw (Promicrops itaira), that attains a weight of over six hundred pounds.
There are two genera called jewfish by the habitues of the reef: the black grouper, when of large size, and the “Warsaw,” Promicrops itaiara. Not a few anglers profess to believe the two fishes identical, the huge Warsaw being the adult black grouper; but the consensus of opinion is against this

The young warsaw has a yellow tail and a dark saddle on the caudal peduncle. The warsaw is distinctive as the only grouper with 10 dorsal spines, the second of which is much longer than the third.

It vapes plenty; you just can't inhale and exhale much of anything.
"Vaping" is just a fancy way to avoid the term "smoking", since smoking is illegal everywhere and these things don't burn anything and don't produce second-hand smoke.
Electronic cigarettes, battery-powered devices that convert a solution of nicotine and other chemicals into a vapor that can be inhaled, or "vaped," have the potential to wean a vast number of smokers off cigarettes. […] The problem is, not enough smokers are switching to e-cigarettes, despite their relative safety – and understandably so. Smokers are barraged with news about inaccurate labeling, shoddy counterfeits and poorly made e-cigarettes that emit toxins and cancer-causing chemicals in vapor. […] [T]he F.D.A. should allow companies to tell smokers about the benefits of switching to vaping products.

When you went in the heavy front doors of Grandpa Cook’s house, the first impression was of burning oakwood. […] The room I always slept in there, and that was especially for grandchildren, was a gloom. It had a no-lived-in feeling, no magic, no smell of its own, except that of the all-penetrating burning oakwood.
The acrid smell of sweat and burning oakwood vied with the sweet fragrance of roasted beef to fill her nostrils and envelop her senses, while the heat of the vast chamber threatened to overwhelm her more completely than the rigours of the journey.
The Marlfox ignored the jibe, listening to the steady ring of axeblades against oakwood.

At McGill, someone has established a McGill Microaggressions website inviting students and staff to report instances of “sexism, heteropatriarchy, transphobia, classism, racism [and] ableism.”
Two terms have risen quickly from obscurity into common campus parlance. Microaggressions are small actions or word choices that seem on their face to have no malicious intent but that are thought of as a kind of violence nonetheless.
For many of us, microaggressions are so commonplace that it seems impossible to tackle them one at a time. Psychologists often compare them to death by a thousand cuts.
Ask whether microaggressions merit the same response as physical assault and the Elect do not receive this as a challenging query.
