glochid

That irritating prickly thingie on a flat type of cactus (an Opuntia, for instance) that jabs you and gets embedded in your skin. Very difficult to remove.

Wear latex gloves when you're transplanting prickly pear cacti, otherwise you'll be stuck by a glochid.

khoro

Hebrew word for "shit". Taken from Arabic "khara" with the same meaning.
