singeing

The healthiness of the food being heated by the air in an oven is largely unaffected (singeing and bioavailability aside).

It probably favors human voices over other ambient noise, therefore singeing the man out.

That prevents singeing the leaves that can kill a nice cup of green tea.

I remember years ago trying to light an old heater the most stupid way possible and only singeing my eyebrows in the resulting explosion.

Of course there's also the risk that even if it is bipartisan with broad support that singeing will overreach and use its popularity to get something else passed and that effort will kill the broader bill.

It keeps taking longer because we keep enabling the highly profitable fossil fuel extraction instead of making the singeing energy cuts and investments in other sources (renewables and nuclear) that we should have made decades ago.

I had the most surreal (but standard) Russian Bath experience: sitting with a bunch of naked folks as they self-flog with branches in rooms so hot you needed wool caps to keep the top of your head from singeing.

I'm not sure what the criteria for "highly" flammable is, I'm sure it's flammable but I've never managed to ignite it with either a blowtorch (singeing the Hessian backing on the edges of freshly cut lino) or a laser cutter (both when cutting and engraving).
