Nathan... where did you "accrete" your knowledge of ichthyology?

Can you use it in a dirty sentence?

 

I've been happily accreting since the age of 25. But I live in Wisconsin; if you show no proclivity for auto-accretion, you're summarily kicked out of the state.

I think we need to add something to this exercise. Nate puts what the word really means, and we should come up with suggestions of what the word looks like it means.

Accrete, for example, to me anyway, looks like it should be defined as: "the process of becoming constipated."

 

Hmm... To me accrrete looks like it should be defined as the opposite of "constipated".

 

Well, if you are constipated, wouldn't you grow by accumulation?

 

Time to start throwing this word around in all the R56 carbon deposit threads!

 

When companies merge, they hope its accretive.
