| Mucilage is a word which has spawned many offshoots from it's early days as a footstool to Sir Isambard Kingdom Brunell. The great putty shortage of 1928 created a shortage of putty and anything even mildly sticky would be used to seal cracks in walls, windows and small Ferrets from the Sheffield region of Yorkshire. Sticky substances such as toffee, fishpaste and Sian's Vaginal discharge were popular substitutes for conventional putty but didn't conform to known putty conventions. mucilage was a hybrid of the word 'Muck' in regards to the amount of time it lasted. for example, the average Mucilage around a typical thatched cottage is 25 years depending on the strength of fat people's gravitational pull and random cloud formations. Mucilage is seldom used today, with the exception of Cambridge, where it has enjoyed success with students, much like Chesney Hawks. |
