flizzoms: Small fragments of very thin things, as of dry leaves or dust of tobacco; from Norwegian flus, Swedish flisa, a scale, fragment (Hensleigh Wedgwood's Dictionary of English Etymology, 1878)
Very small flakes in bottled liquors (Rev. Robert Forby's Vocabulary of East Anglia, 1830)
what a lovely descriptive word. Keep up the good work Julie!
ReplyDeleteWould make a great cookie, thin and chocolate-covered, skipping the dust and tobacco... :)))
