Getting rid of the "analog" term will be the subject of an upcoming episode.

That will be an uphill battle. I tried and gave up. I however will always refuse to use what I consider to be a stupid term.

is not butter something that you spread on toast?

While we're at it, can we get people to stop saying that they're "nauseous"? As in "36mg nic made me nauseous"?

NAUSEATED.

Thank you.

However...

But seriously, thanks for enlightening me, for I truly did not know and had to look it up.

It does drive me nuts when people spell words incorrectly, or turn a phrase incorrectly.
It's like, hey, if you don't know the word or the phrase why are you using it?

But in the end, I don't let it ruin my day.

Butters must be ill.

I'm going to permit you the position shift you have made from "lack of solids disqualify it from being steeping" to, "the extraction is over" that you made rather smoothly. I will just say that it doesn't have to be extracted to qualify as steeping in two of the three sources I cited.

I agree the application is imprecise, but I do think it is close. And I like the term.



Tapped out

And I agree that the application is imprecise, especially in the definitions you provided. However, in the context of the examples I provided, it is more precise and therefore, more appropriate.

What we're doing is aging. What you do when soaking tea leaves, mint leaves, herb roots, etc is steeping.

Also, most contexts of steeping including using a very hot liquid. While the maturation process we use can be sped along by placing a bottle of freshly bought/made liquid in a vessel of heated water, it's not the same as soaking the leaves, roots or herbs in a vessel of hot water. The material being steeped is in contact with and wetted by the water, while it's simply the heat provided by the water that helps the aging process.

Steeped, analog flavored juice makes me nauseous. Sorry...had to.

Yeah, I am sucking away on my.... Oh wait! Oh Dear God! No wonder I rarely leave the house ;-)

Bwaahaaahaa!!!

Steeping is soaking a solid substance in a liquid in order to extract compounds (usually flavors) or to soften the solid.

Like hot tea.

This is much more entertaining than reading about how to get the gurgles out of my FT Evod... just sayin.

 

[Thunderball]

... In German we say "reifen" which means "to mature"

Well then, Reifen it is !!

I love seeing you.. Butters is my favorite.. Just thought of Butter's Bottom B.... episode.

I think steeping can be applied to when you actually apply heat. There are solid compounds in liquids.. letting them dissolve better...=steeping.

Dat's OK. With da ankle bracelet, at least you'll get back to da police station!

Oh jeez - just shake your bottles when you are in the bathroom - doing certain bathroomy things - call it "stooping" and leave it at that.
