Balderdash for the Medieval Gay #27
May 18, 2008
(a compendium of queer words for the modern fag with a passion for the Middle Ages added hebdomadally on the Sabbath day)
27.) Bowssen
-verb
a.) To drench or soak; especially to immerse in fluids believed to have curative properties.*
[Origin: unknown.]
*It was believed in former ages that dunking could cure lunacy. I believe that even a sprinkling with certain bodily fluids may have the potential for curative properties.
What a wonderful word and wonderful sentiment.
Thank you! There really is boundless pleasure and healing to be found within the human body if we seek thoroughly.
