the penultimate edition

you know how when you are grinding down forks and your house becomes dirty with all that dust? well, there is a word for that.

also: you know how when you (or your nurse) are rolling around in bed having a grand old time and then you (or your nurse) realise that you accidentally squished some baby (it happens to the best of us)? well, there is a word for that as well.
