More words

advection \ad-VEK-shun\ - the usually horizontal movement of a mass of fluid (as air or an ocean current); also : transport (as of pollutants or plankton) by such movement
I had a pretty good sense of what this one means as soon as I saw it.
lobscouse \LOB-skows\ - a sailor's dish of stewed or baked meat with vegetables and hardtack
Wasn't at all familiar with this one, though.
Both from today's Dictionary Devil puzzle.
