    Isn't that what MOTD, MTTS, MITM and others of that ilk do?

    If ever a word sounded bowel related, it's that one.

    Do you work in a water or wastewater treatment? That is the only place I ever hear the word flocculate.

    It is also used in brewing. Brewers yeast flocculates and settles to the bottom of the fermenter, this is why beer is clear and not cloudy, for the most part.
