      Syn: To {Draw}, {Drag}.
  
      Usage: Draw differs from drag in this, that drag implies a
                  natural inaptitude for drawing, or positive
                  resistance; it is applied to things pulled or hauled
                  along the ground, or moved with toil or difficulty.
                  Draw is applied to all bodies moved by force in
                  advance, whatever may be the degree of force; it
                  commonly implies that some kind of aptitude or
                  provision exists for drawing. Draw is the more general
                  or generic term, and drag the more specific. We say,
                  the horses draw a coach or wagon, but they drag it
                  through mire; yet draw is properly used in both cases.

   Oil \Oil\ (oil), n. [OE. oile, OF. oile, F. huile, fr. L. oleum;
      akin to Gr. [?]. Cf. {Olive}.]
      Any one of a great variety of unctuous combustible
      substances, not miscible with water; as, olive oil, whale
      oil, rock oil, etc. They are of animal, vegetable, or mineral
      origin and of varied composition, and they are variously used
      for food, for solvents, for anointing, lubrication,
      illumination, etc. By extension, any substance of an oily
      consistency; as, oil of vitriol.
  
      Note: The mineral oils are varieties of petroleum. See
               {Petroleum}. The vegetable oils are of two classes,
               {essential oils} (see under {Essential}), and {natural
               oils} which in general resemble the animal oils and
               fats. Most of the natural oils and the animal oils and
               fats consist of ethereal salts of glycerin, with a
               large number of organic acids, principally stearic,
               oleic, and palmitic, forming respectively stearin,
               olein, and palmitin. Stearin and palmitin prevail in
               the solid oils and fats, and olein in the liquid oils.
               Mutton tallow, beef tallow, and lard are rich in
               stearin, human fat and palm oil in palmitin, and sperm
               and cod-liver oils in olein. In making soaps, the acids
               leave the glycerin and unite with the soda or potash.
  
      {Animal oil}, {Bone oil}, {Dipple's oil}, etc. (Old Chem.), a
            complex oil obtained by the distillation of animal
            substances, as bones. See {Bone oil}, under {Bone}.
  
      {Drying oils}, {Essential oils}. (Chem.) See under {Drying},
            and {Essential}.
  
      {Ethereal oil of wine}, {Heavy oil of wine}. (Chem.) See
            under {Ethereal}.
  
      {Fixed oil}. (Chem.) See under {Fixed}.
  
      {Oil bag} (Zo[94]l.), a bag, cyst, or gland in animals,
            containing oil.
  
      {Oil beetle} (Zo[94]l.), any beetle of the genus {Meloe} and
            allied genera. When disturbed they emit from the joints of
            the legs a yellowish oily liquor. Some species possess
            vesicating properties, and are used instead of
            cantharides.
  
      {Oil box}, [or] {Oil cellar} (Mach.), a fixed box or
            reservoir, for lubricating a bearing; esp., the box for
            oil beneath the journal of a railway-car axle.
  
      {Oil cake}. See under {Cake}.
  
      {Oil cock}, a stopcock connected with an oil cup. See {Oil

                  respects our manner of acting in particular cases;
                  conduct refers to the general tenor of our actions. We

   drunk mouse syndrome n.   (also `mouse on drugs') A malady
   exhibited by the mouse pointing device of some computers.   The
   typical symptom is for the mouse cursor on the screen to move in
   random directions and not in sync with the motion of the actual
   mouse.   Can usually be corrected by unplugging the mouse and
   plugging it back again.   Another recommended fix for optical mice is
   to rotate your mouse pad 90 degrees.
  
      At Xerox PARC in the 1970s, most people kept a can of copier
   cleaner (isopropyl alcohol) at their desks.   When the steel ball on
   the mouse had picked up enough {cruft} to be unreliable, the mouse
   was doused in cleaner, which restored it for a while.   However, this
   operation left a fine residue that accelerated the accumulation of
   cruft, so the dousings became more and more frequent.   Finally, the
   mouse was declared `alcoholic' and sent to the clinic to be dried

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Drink
      The drinks of the Hebrews were water, wine, "strong drink," and
      vinegar. Their drinking vessels were the cup, goblet or "basin,"
      the "cruse" or pitcher, and the saucer.
     
         To drink water by measure (Ezek. 4:11), and to buy water to
      drink (Lam. 5:4), denote great scarcity. To drink blood means to
      be satiated with slaughter.
     
         The Jews carefully strained their drinks through a sieve,
      through fear of violating the law of Lev. 11:20, 23, 41, 42.
      (See Matt. 23:24. "Strain at" should be "strain out.")
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Drink, strong
      (Heb. shekar'), an intoxicating liquor (Judg. 13:4; Luke 1:15;
      Isa. 5:11; Micah 2:11) distilled from corn, honey, or dates. The
      effects of the use of strong drink are referred to in Ps.
      107:27; Isa. 24:20; 49:26; 51:17-22. Its use prohibited, Prov.
      20:1. (See {WINE}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Drink-offering
      consisted of wine (Num. 15:5; Hos. 9:4) poured around the altar
      (Ex. 30:9). Joined with meat-offerings (Num. 6:15, 17; 2 Kings
      16:13; Joel 1:9, 13; 2:14), presented daily (Ex. 29:40), on the
      Sabbath (Num. 28:9), and on feast-days (28:14). One-fourth of an
      hin of wine was required for one lamb, one-third for a ram, and
      one-half for a bullock (Num. 15:5; 28:7, 14). "Drink offerings
      of blood" (Ps. 16:4) is used in allusion to the heathen practice
      of mingling the blood of animals sacrificed with wine or water,
      and pouring out the mixture in the worship of the gods, and the
      idea conveyed is that the psalmist would not partake of the
      abominations of the heathen.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Drunk
      The first case of intoxication on record is that of Noah (Gen.
      9:21). The sin of drunkenness is frequently and strongly
      condemned (Rom. 13:13; 1 Cor. 6:9, 10; Eph. 5:18; 1 Thess. 5:7,
      8). The sin of drinking to excess seems to have been not
      uncommon among the Israelites.
     
         The word is used figuratively, when men are spoken of as being
      drunk with sorrow, and with the wine of God's wrath (Isa. 63:6;
      Jer. 51:57; Ezek. 23:33). To "add drunkenness to thirst" (Deut.
      29:19, A.V.) is a proverbial expression, rendered in the Revised
      Version "to destroy the moist with the dry", i.e., the
      well-watered equally with the dry land, meaning that the effect
      of such walking in the imagination of their own hearts would be
      to destroy one and all.
