When I lived in a group house at uni, we used to not wash up quite as often
as might be advisable. So we'd end up with cups & plates around the place
with a layer of hard stuff in the bottom (eg: ever seen a full cup of tea
that has lived under someone's bed for 6 months?). We had so many of these,
I thought it needed a name. I was living with a writer at the time, who had
complained about there not being a rhyme for Orange (except for Porridge,
but that is soooo lame). So, I christened it "borange". A slimy plug of
gelled biological matter in the bottom of a cup or plate, formed over a
period of months from what was originally food or drink, is a borange.

Anyone got some more?
