Moxa
Moxa is fascinating. It's anything used as a counter-irritant for gout. Specific remedies are mentioned in my dictionary but I'll leave that up to any potential gout sufferers to follow up. I have other, more pressing issues to address. As does Raelha, who needs to celebrate her win on the poll today. Well done, Raelha.

A moxa is a sort of spotted yellow flower, with orange strings clinging to its long, pointed petals. Each day, the moxa sheds a moxillian (infinity times infinity) of a different object--for example, on Monday it might produce a moxillian bottles of amoxicillin, on Tuesday a moxillian moccasins, on Wednesday a moxillian chicken pox, on Thursday a moxillian goosebumps, etc., etc. (Notice how the definition uses a moxillian words that computers underline in red.)
