I am doing an assignment - however I'm struggling with the following term:
Self-Phrasing Flower
I've tried to cut and paste from Wikipedia, but to no avail.
I think it may be something to do with Chomsky - someone said that it was to do with baking, but such a nonsensical suggestion deserves no place on a serious board like this.
Definitions welcome.

It might be a flower which doesn't need Bacon Powder.
Try asking on TOP? One of the members there might know? "Flay - Keep Pastry", allegedly.

Probably no connection whatsoever, but you've reminded me that, in 'Absolutely Fabulous', Saffy's plaintive drama about being brought up by an irresponsible mother was called 'Self Raising Flower'.

I asked my friend who's serving a prison sentence and she sent the following terse reply:
"Cell freezing - Flora"

The latest news is that she has escaped! By digging a tunnel. She left a similarly terse note to taunt her erstwhile warder: "Hole, me ol' Flower!". |

I wish I could help, but we seem to have a problem here with a mouse doing the unspeakable on dried fruit in the larder; I am still looking for remedies for a shelf-raisin fouler

We seem to have a problem with a small horticulturally-inclined fairy at the bottom of our garden...
Help! Any one know what I can do with this elf raising flowers?

Flip-chart notes from a course in face-to-face power-selling techniques, feeding client desire for the product by enunciating it deliciously: sell-phrasing: "flower" |
