Koumiss is a liquor made from mare's milk. Very scary indeed. On a lighter note, Hey Jude has won today's competition with her inventive meaning. Great work, HJ!
Here it is: There is an ancient vegetable called the manglebeet. When this vegetable is processed and made into a spreadable paste, it is known as koumiss.
Have fun with a new word each day. I'll choose a word. You make up a meaning.

Ooh! Thanks for choosing me yesterday. First time lucky I guess!
"Koumiss" the very word we all used to shout out in the classroom when we over-enthusiastically raised a hand because we knew the answer to teacher's question.
