I was going to say that I was going to do a debridement of my Favorites, but somehow the word sounds nice, but I do not know if cutting away dead tissue would equate to cutting away at dead website or websites that I no long use????? Another word I like is Abattoir.

noun

Doesn't sound anything like its definition
When I hear debridement, I think decubiti, and extremely messy cultures (full of multiple bacteria). I'd choose another word! ;)

ReplyDeleteI agree with you on abbotoir - it is such a flowing word with such an ugly meaning.
