I think you mean DENTIFRICE. I used to love it, especially the peppermint flavoured one.

Grrr. Between a fading memory and dyslexic fingers...
Looks like it's yours if Griff sees this.

You gave the first correct answer - them's the rules!

Well, I'll take it although I did not actually solve the clue, I just corrected Peter's spelling.

Have an upvote, for getting so close (and just missing!)

p.s. I just saw another derogatory comment by this angry-young-man on another QA answer by our esteemed colleague Dave K. in which he refers to a certain explicit sex-act.

Yes, he's been reported and is in the process of being kicked off.
It's a pity, he seemed to be trying to learn to start with - although getting hung up on words and semantics instead of functionality - but now he's descended into abuse and won't last long.

I think I may have got off easily, as my answer to a previous question of his received no comments at all.

I would never underestimate the apotropaic power of anything you said, or, wrote

I guess that is my word for today. Now how do I weave that into a future CCC?

well you could wear a ring i will design with the face of Bes [^] ... if you can afford a 29 million year old piece of genuine Libyan 100-megaton meteoric impact glass worth carving [^].
everyone seeing you wearing it will want to know the story !
if it was good enough for Tut, I think it should work for you: [^].
btw: the controversy over "where's the crater" for this meteoric whatever is quite interesting: [^].

This is particularly ironic considering that he wrote "per say".
By the way, has the quote of his above been deleted?

Refactoring code of a departed (to another job) team mate of, shall we say, limited talent I found a piece of code which is embody exactly what I think of typical over engineered multi layered typical web dev code. You know where you do plenty of useless copy of the same object to various layer of DTO in the same application...
Well, in that case in the SaveToDb(objectModel) method, the objectModel is copied to an intermediary DTO that is only ever used in that single method, after which the intermediary DTO is saved in the database. I didn't make that one up! 
Anyway nuked it!

That sort of thing always smells of refactoring, and the original guy either wasn't confident enough that removing the now-useless code was a safe thing to do, or couldn't/wouldn't do the research needed to prove it. Or he had no clue that it was now useless.
