today's word is brought to you by

The word I can't seem to get out of my head for the last couple of days is:

parge or parget:

n. 1. A mixture, such as plaster or roughcast, used to coat walls and line chimneys. 2. Ornamental work in plaster. 3. A cement mixture used to waterproof outer walls. tr.v. par·get·ed also par·get·ted, par·get·ing also par·get·ting, par·gets also par·gets To cover or adorn with parget.

Don't know why except I saw it on Holmes on Holmes the other night. A fun antidote to our current renovation project woes.
