P.S. Is "wafting" a word? We're diehard Scrabble players in this family; Ireally need to know. That would be a 7-letter word!
It's certainly a word among the bloggers of Canada:http://splatterproof.blogspot.com/2007/03/wafting-in-beer-farts-of- midgets.html
I was going to quote the famous Gilbert and Sullivan song from "Pirates of Penzance," but then found it doesn't actually have "wafting" in it. Ah, the tricks of memory:
Sighing softly to the river Comes the loving breeze, Setting nature all a-quiver Rustling through the trees [snip] When the breeze is out a-wooing Who can woo so well? Shocking tales the rogue could tell, Nobody can woo so well. Pretty brook, thy dream is over, For thy love is but a rover! Sad the lot of poplar trees, Courted by the fickle breeze. No waft, no weft, no weave, no nuffink.
