Macula

A macula is really a dark permanent spot as in a spot on the sun, in a mineral or on the skin. Now I know. However, John suggested something much more interesting - if slightly unsavoury. And the voters liked it, so he's the winner for today. Well done, John.

A delicious spread common in the tropical areas of the southern hemisphere (especially the islands in the South Pacific) made from a mixture of ground maca monkey meat and the seeds of the Ula-fala flower. It is considered the Southern hemisphere's answer to Marmite.

John: yech!

A macula is the wooden dowel that you sometimes find on the handle of a pail, or a large shopping bag. It's the thing that keeps your hand from being hurt while carrying a heavy thing by just a thin wire or string.

I was going to say Dracula's mother, but...

A macula is that round, wheely-like thing that you use to slice pizza. I always thought it was called a pizza slicer, but my friend at Crate and Barrel informed me it's actually called a macula, and it's a very popular item on the bridal registries.

Macula is the gluggy, ghastly ball of hair and combined body excretions from all orifices which clogs the u bend under the shower and hand basin.

Macula. N. - a particularly vampiric strain of tubular pasta.

derivation "macaroni" + "dracula"

"When Jenny bit into her macula, she puckered her cheeks, because it felt like it was digging into her tongue."
