This word makes me think of the people that I would encounter on my way to work when I was employed in Chelsea.  Every morning I’d have to dance around the locals as they hosed down the sidewalk.  I’ve never understood the purpose of this because to me the only thing that smells worse than sidewalk filth is damp sidewalk filth, but nonetheless this practice seems to be a time-tested tradition of New York City living.
