bokashi noun a composter that uses a particular mixture of micro-organisms which speed up the breakdown of household waste while minimizing odours
If you don’t have a garden, a wormery or a bokashi makes a good alternative to a compost heap.
[Easy Living (UK lifestyle magazine) May 2011]
Nuala says: One of the best things about having a bokashi bin in the kitchen is how easy it is just to scrape in whatever’s left on your plate after a meal – bacon rind, broccoli stumps, that last defeating forkful of spag bol – it all goes in.

Very much helpful for me
I don’t see the need for “EV.” It’s easily confused with other abbreviations (ET, TV, etc.) and not much easier to say than “electric car” or “plug-in car.” The manufacturers are also working to introduce band names (“Prius,” “Leaf.” “Volt”), any one of which may become the “Kleenex” or “Aspirin” of electric cars.
“New words – 10 October 2001 Cambridge Dictionaries Online blog” was indeed a remarkable
blog post. In case it included much more pix it would
probably be quite possibly much better. Thank
