Fenks
Fenks are the fibrous parts of whale blubber or, alternatively, the remaining substance after whale blubber has been melted. I think I need a lie down after that one. Fortunately, I've got the invented meanings to fall back on. Thanks for the vast array. Sometimes, simple is best. That's often true for Coolskoolmom and was definitely true of her wonderful meaning for fenks. Thanks, Coolskoolmom. I think most of us related all to easily to your definition.

Fenks are a small variety of the stitchwort family of wild flowers found only in the Fenlands of Eastern Britain. They have rather an unpleasant smell and rely on flies for pollenation, as flies are the only insects attracted to the rancid smelling stamens.

The Fenks is also a colloquialism for the smell which eminates from a men's locker room.
Thanks for the nod on "moquette." I may not get to pop into WordImperfect for the next month. I'm off to the UK tomorrow morning, and then to France. Perhaps I'll be able to pop in once or twice in August. Tomorrow I'll be headed for South Oxfordshire, and hopefully I don't get stuck in The Fenks with all the flooding which has occurred there. See you all in a month or so.
Fenks-A term given to well-rounded students. Some are just popular because they are in sports or nerdy because they are smart, but fenks excel at everything-sports, academics-and are well-liked by everyone. Some hold down a part-time job and still do well in everything. Don't you hate fenks? They make it look so easy!

I asked my three year old and this was his answer....it's food.
