So did the OED ever get their definitions, I wonder? If not, do links to threads here count as references? 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Kyla \* > \*\*No, you can’t just make up a definition, you have to find a reference to it in a book. I know that someone reported reading about felching a few months ago, that reference is the one we need to dig up. \*\* I don’t have the book around right now, so I can’t quote it - but Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahnuik contains a description of exactly what felching entails. Which I actually found quite amusing, since I immediately thought of the SDMB - Palahnuik has always reminded me of **Scylla** , so it helped me entertain the fantasy that the two are in fact one and the same. And in the case that they _are_… it wouldn’t be too much to sign my copy, would it, **Scylla**? 😉 ---

I can’t help but wonder if Felch, Michigan has a grand annual festival, perhaps one called Felch Days, at which they crown a Felch King and Felch Queen. ---

? Or perhaps “felchic” or “felchand?” In Canada maybe “felchaux”? [sub] Did I really hit “submit”?[/sub] ---

Bochs \* > \*\*I can’t help but wonder if Felch, Michigan has a grand annual festival, perhaps one called Felch Days, at which they crown a Felch King and Felch Queen. \*\* Well, as I’m the expert here \ I’d say that Felch doesn’t have enough of a population to have Felch Days. It’s really just a wide spot in the road. Of course, they _might_ have a parade down Hwy 69, or Creamery Street. I wouldn’t doubt it, they’re a feisty bunch.
