jsharr Posted February 19, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 19, 2020 A diaphanous gown can be a thing of beauty in the moonlight. And yes, I knew the word and did not have to use the googles. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr Posted February 19, 2020 Share #5 Posted February 19, 2020 You have to be reading some sort of detective novel. Maybe an Archy McNally story by Lawrence Sanders? Those sound like words Archy would use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD Posted February 20, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 20, 2020 I had only ever heard of diaphanous in terms of chemistry: the ability to transmit light, e.g. translucent. My Italian-American college chemistry and research advisor and I used to rapidly shoot obscure chemistry and Catholic Church terms at each other on occasion like, "Michaelis-Menten Equation," "Diaphanous Rock," "Oil of Chrism," "Confiteor," etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
