I've looked a few up since you have me curious..... ![]() insalubrious ADJECTIVE: Not sustaining or promoting health: unhealthy, unsalutary, unwholesome. effluvia A usually invisible emanation or exhalation, as of vapor or gas. A byproduct or residue; waste. The odorous fumes given off by waste or decaying matter. An impalpable emanation; an aura. prosaic Consisting or characteristic of prose. Matter-of-fact; straightforward. Lacking in imagination and spirit; dull. Do they make any sense? Still working on it....... |
