slake: /sleyk/
–verb (used with object)
1. to allay (thirst, desire, wrath, etc.) by satisfying.
2. to cool or refresh
3. to make less active, vigorous, intense, etc.
4. to cause disintegration of (lime) by treatment with water.
5. obsolete to make loose or less tense
–verb (used without object)
6. (of lime) to become slaked.
7. archaic to become less active, intense, vigorous, etc.; abate.
how to use in casual conversation:
"i don't know if it's just because i'm getting old or what, but every time i go to a punk show i have to slake my balls when i get home"
"you're never going to dissolve that body properly if you don't slake that lime"
not to be confused with:
flake
how it makes me feel:
well, i'm pretty indifferent about it. i'm pretty indifferent about everything today - even the weather. apparently we're expecting some hairy atmospheric action here in western washington tonight. they're even warning us about power outages. but here's the thing about seattle weather - it NEVER materializes the way they tell you it's going to. so, i'm going out drinking tonight. supposedly we're avoiding golden city ("skip the restaurant and just dare to walk through the red door"), because we always go to golden city but the drinks are strong and cheap and we aren't "crabbers" which means we have money and don't generally start fights so they like us. plus, they have pbr in a bottle which while slightly more expensive than it would be if it were on tap, is still my favorite pbr delivery vector. but then again, you wouldn't want to even think about sleeping with anyone you'd meet at golden city plus kings has $2 tall cans of rainier AND skeeball . though the crowd doesn't get a little 'bellevue' on the weekends!
a friendly note:
have a swell weekend worders and wordettes!
