Yukka commented on the word parontogenese
Definitely related to breeding.
I'll make it the process through which a child is created naturally by his mother and father, as opposed to any other ways (involving third parties, scientific intervention such as implant, cloning or robotics). Derived from 'parents' and 'genese/genesis'. Widespread in the 23rd century.

Yukka commented on the word figs
FIGS: French, Italian, German, Spanish
"Most of our jobs are from Japanese to EFIGS, but we are also looking for English to FIGS translators and proofreaders."(http://www.proz.com/translation-jobs/560713)
"I think a lot of games companies will turn to agencies since they need translation into FIGS and other European languages simultaneously."(search "FIGS" at http://www.proz.com/?sp=search)

Yukka commented on the word baggage
"Lately Puppetji has been reminded of the weight of the world on people's shoulders, the baggage we all carry with us from house to house, city to city, relationship to relationship, lifetime to lifetime. These illusory burdens we all carry ... This clutter that fills your mind."

Yukka commented on the word overcooked
4 year old to her mum (London, 2001):
- I like green beans better at my friends', they are softer!
- Yes darling, that's because they overcook them.

Does this word actually exist or have I just made it up and need to create a definition for it?
