killcrop

killcrop (KIL-krop) - n., an insatiable infant, particularly one believed to be a fairy changeling.


It eats and eats and never grow or gets fatter and it's always crying and hungry and I can't take it any more and oh my god it can't be my baby --- IT'S A CHANGELING! From German, and the changeling part from Germnn folklore, adopted in the 17th century from kielkropf, of uncertain origin.
