Boo! - Japanese-speaking enemies would think you were shouting "fart!"... or so I'm told....

Sorry, I decided to add words first and go through them to add definitions and what have you later on. I'm working on it.
To bescumber someone is to spray them with poo. I decided to list it in the past tense on the grounds that no one reading it is very likely to bescumber anyone else, but that some might enjoy using it as an insult (including myself, should I ever find an opponent worthy of such an exchange). I think calling someone a "bescumbered bufflehead" would be an awesome thing.
Glad you guys like the list so far.
Interesting about the Japanese...

It is indeed a fine list. But I think you may be underestimating the collective Wordie fascination with all things excrement-related, Silas. A search on bescumber reveals that it is already on nine Wordies' lists

Ah, so it is - and a much-enjoyed word, indeed! Thank you for pointing this out! I don't know why I didn't think to search for it. I suppose I was caught-up.
Hmmm... Perhaps I should simply change it to "bescumber"? Do you think anyone will mind if I leave it in adjective form for the purposes of this list?
