You sure it's not "crawl" or "cowl"?
No, I'm sure it's a new hybrid term. The underlying attention to countable nouns clearly indicates professionalism.
I suppose it could also be a new animal--a crow that is also an owl. A crowl.

NightSwan also said that she wanted to peg me, once, but I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or a threat...

Yeah, I can see that = D
All jokes aside, this is what happens when people try to quote a lyric without understanding the language the song is sung in.
It's supposed to be Howling in the shadows
This is also what happens when the same kind of person thinks that the misquote slapped on an image is cool so he puts it as his signature, not knowing that he's publicly showcasing his ignorance.

Mirriam Webster says a crowl is a dwarf in Scott or Irish. So "crowling in the shadow" could mean that the person is stealthy - practically unnoticeable in the dark. Probably...

So you mean crowling is the sound this creature would make? i.e. a caw-hoot? Hmm, the plot thickens....
I give up. I see not point in living if I can't be beautiful.

You're thinking about menthol (or mint). Mint has TRPM8 protein (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8) which allows Na+ and Ca2+ ions to enter your cells, changing the electrical charge of neutron, forwarding the information to your nervous system, giving the perception of cold.
Normally TRPM8 responds to cold temperatures, being obviously the usual reason for having a sensation of cold, but it also reacts to menthol and some (all?) mint oils.
In short, the same reaction that is caused by cold to sent to your nervous system information that it's cold is caused by menthol, spearmint, peppermint etc.
So call it whatever you like dear—it's really just plain sensation of cold.

Now playing on TV,
Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban
Just wondering,
What happened to the Magic Item (of Hermione Granger) that has the power of Time after??
From my view, time magic is on par with life magic, or, this is what I get from Dorohedoro
The item was definitely OP..
@狂気 - thanks..

was Hey Arnold dubbed in norwegian? except the movie.
if there is an option between "to do" and "not to do", I will always choose the latter.

So...this is a weird one, and I'll try to keep it short, but it's kind of a long story. 😐
Last fall, around the middle/end of September, I started waking up most mornings with 1-2 itchy red bumps very similar to bug bites. They were usually not close together, for example one on my knee & one on my back, though occasionally they'd be closer together. Some days I might have none; I think the most for one day was three. They were rarely on exposed skin (never on my face & only occasionally on hands or neck) and often in places covered by several layers of clothes plus blankets at night- it's chilly at night around here by Sept - so definitely not mosquitoes.
My first thought was "Oh Hell - bedbugs!!" but though I had been traveling, it was at least three weeks between returning from the trip & getting the first "bite", and no one else got any.
Definitely not fleas as the vast majority of the "bites" have been above the knees, & flea bites would be showing up on lower legs.
About a month after they started, they stopped completely. Winter passed. And around the middle of March, they started up again. 🤢
I'm still getting 1-2 "bites" most days, still usually spaced far apart, and still no one else is getting "bit". Last night I ended up sleeping in the living room, & still woke up with a couple of horribly itchy bumps, so I'm thinking more & more that it's me having some weird reaction rather than any kind of bug.
Sometimes if I put lotion on, it will stop the itching for hours. Sometimes not. Most of the itchies are still under my clothes (weather is still cool here most days, so long sleeves & long pants most of the time), with an occasional bump on a hand or my neck; I've even had a couple in my armpits. I have noticed a couple seem to develop on or beside a small scratch but mostly not. They don't seem to cluster anywhere, though I did have several (over the course of several days) on one arm.
I've never had any allergies, and this seems really random to be an allergic reaction. I mean, if it was to something I ate, wouldn't it be all over, or at least one big area? And if it was something I touched, it should be in the area that touched whatever's causing the reaction, not one itchy in my armpit & one on my leg, right??
Any ideas? 😕 This is getting really really old. 🤢

I first thought spiders? .... but then I thought maybe laundry detergent? Have you changed to a new one during the time it started? Might be a slight irritation to that ... ( Like maybe you tried a new one when it started, went back to the old one, then back to the new one)
Maybe the material of your clothes?
Sorry this isn't much help :/
Yes yes, I know I make longwinded comments, but that's just me >.<
I should proof read my comments more, but I won't...
So keep in mind I'm filled with typos

Roaches maybe? My aunt had a similar problem a few years ago.

I sometimes develop such itchy bumps because I have very dry skin. I have to exfoliate and use moisturizing lotion regularly, otherwise they appear on my legs and arms.
