Farinaceous
Farinaceous refers to anything containing flour, meal or starch. As well as the usual variety of meanings, there was some interesting banter between participants in the blog. Nothing too farinaceous, but getting a bit personal in plACEs. I liked Ali's meaning - especially from a newcomer. The voters chose Reese's entry which described farinaceous as deep and brooding. Well done, Reese.

Farinaceous is a word given to something that goes on longer than it should have. It is not a positive concept (as in, this battery in my watch lasted twice as long as the manufacturer said), but negative (as in: Although Princess Di's funeral should have ended with a quick sprint to the cemetary, the whole thing became farinaceous with the slow crawl through London's streets and all those Brits blubbing)
