pullulate

pullulate - v., to germinate, sprout, breed profusely, increase rapidly, swarm, teem.


There should be some semicolons dividing the pullulating senses, but it's hard to decide where. From Latin pullulatus, past participle of pullulare, grow, sprout, from pullulus, diminutive of pullus, chicken, young animal.

This is a scary concept. I don't want to be around pullulations of any sort.

this is a pretty good LJ! Adding this one, too :-D
