Shimul (Semal):
Bengali derivative of the flower/tree called Semal, often also called the silk-cotton tree. The petals of the Semal flower are usually bright crimson or blood red, have a very soft and smooth texture, and have cotton inside their pods.
Semal/Shimul trees are often associated with the supernatural; according to folklore, these trees are some of the best places to find spirits, duppies and other supernatural entities. It is a symbol for great dichotomy, yet ultimately used for healing.
This is ultimately a rarely used word/term, most people simply using the word Semal instead.

Get the Shimul mug.Used-vehicle-selling shysters of yore would fill da badly-worn gearboxes of old rattletraps with sawdust to temporarily quiet da chattering components so dat prospective buyers would think dat said almost-ready-to-fail transmissions were in better condition than they actually were. Of course, said granulated wood was merely a shimulator, though, as da hapless new owners of said unworthy scrap-heaps soon found out when da wobbly gears eventually jammed and broke in spectacular noisy fashion, and scattered chunks of metal all over da roadway behind them!
