However the name "Zarf" strikes a chord. My seventh grade general language teacher would put daily vocabulary words on the board every morning. Zarf was the first word on the first day of school. (Strigil was the second.)

Zarf is a word?!

I used to watch 'Days' before AMC. Also Edge of Night. I can't believe I can remember thsoe things but I can't for the life of me remember relevant things....

Zarf (as defined by Mr. Glidden): an ornamental hot coffee cup holder.

I enjoyed Days when it was still mostly about desperate middle aged people, before it seemed to all be about college aged secret agents and other silliness.

When I was younger, even the high school kids were too goody for me.

I enjoyed the characters who were a bit racey and didn't listen to their mothers.

Hmm. Zarf.

I don't think I can incorporate it into my vocabulary. Too close to barf.
But thanks for the definition.
