Cudbear award. She was all gal, and he was a fun guy. They took a lichen to
each other. I've speculated that the verb (as in "crottled greeps") means
"to ferment with lichen, which serves as an indicator".


This is close enough to the real definition:

   1.

a common lichen found on rocks, used in Scotland to make a golden-brown or
reddish-brown dye for staining wool for making tweed.


So, a new word:

DORYPHORE

Same Dickensian imperative.
