Talk:flossable

Alternate sense?
I came across the following use of the word flossable, in Murr Brewster's My Oregon Trail: Trekking from Boston with $200 and a bike (Christian Science Monitor, 25hth of May 2023):


 * By the time we reached the Pacific Ocean in mid-July, I was brown as a nut and had flossable quadriceps [&hellip;]

I'm trying to make sense of exactly what flossable quadriceps are &mdash; big ones, I presume, but I'm finding it difficult to reconcile this with the ordinary meaning of the word: able to be flossed. Is this a different sense which is simply not listed on flossable yet? 188.108.111.215 07:10, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Seems a humorous one-off usage. Strongly defined muscles that a piece of dental floss could be run up and down between. Equinox ◑ 07:16, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
