Junior High School Science Class Comin' in Handy

I used the word "turgid" in a conversation the other day. Entirely seriously. When discussing with a colleauge just how soft the radishes were on the crudite platter:

"Yeah, they're bad. But with a few cuts of the knife on the bottom here, toss 'em into a bowl of water and keep 'em in the fridge a few hours? Totally turgid again and good as new."

"What? Turgid?"

"Fuck off."

Wow! You East Coast gals is crazy!

My Ma told me to put some turgid in the machine when I washed my clothes. She didn't say nothing about using it on vegetables!
