Scouring?
"Scouring" means a nasty fight, my Precious. We don't likes it.
"The Scouring" of which Corin speaks is when we were all still in the getting-to-know-you phase of our Fellowship and there was a big argument over nothing and folks left for a day or so.
It wasn't nice.
So Corin, not even a light rinse, do you hear? *wink*
