what about "Balls"? that's my personal fave

hi, sheri!

i thought about balls, and manky, too (ratty, nasty, grimy). still, my favorite one that i missed is shrapnel, which is loose change, especially rattling around at the botom of helen's purse.

I must say I am honoured to be mentioned in this site, although it does worry me that my husband needs to look up words in the urban dictionary in order to understand what I am saying half the time.
