I found this list of forgotten words. I think the dates refer to when they were dropped from the OED
Purfled: short-winded, especially in consequence of being too lusty (1808)
Squizzle: to let squizzle, to fire a gun (1956)
Chaddy: full of chads. The bread is chaddy [if] it has been made of meal not properly sifted to get out the husks, fragments of straw, or gritty particles of the mill-stone. (1830)
Tooth-saw: a fine frame-saw for sawing off portions of the teeth; used by dentists. (1874-77)
Lunting: walking and smoking a pipe (1824)
Curglaff: the shock felt in bathing when one first plugnes into the cold water (1808)
Scurryfunge: a hasty tidying of the house between the time you see a neighbor and the time she knocks on the door (1882)
Flippercanorious: elegant (1934)
Irrisory: addicted to laughing or sneezing (1897)
Jirging: the noise too dry shoes make when walking (1824)
I appear to suffer from purfled-ness. |

I didn't read the link but I'd imagine it's explosive just due to it's fine powdery properties
I'd have thought you have been familiar with hay dust and the like?

Yes, and flour etc, Just didn't equate it with cement, it seems such an unlikely, inert substance to be acting as an accelerant. (sp) |
