Soy Nilk and Rice Nilk are; therefore, perfectly cromulent terms.

(The brand name Silk for Soy Milk will probably prevail much as Tylenol does for generic acetaminophen.)

Right. Nilk is also a catch all marketing term encompassing all milk like beverages that are not produced by mammals.

Hmm... that's a little broad. I think my morning glass of spider drippings should be Spilk.

I just call it pretty good, for some things.

It could also be "Not Milk"

It should properly be called milk because the root of that word is for the verb to express or press out

Roots? Cows ain't got roots. Cows don't need no stinkin' roots.

Neither do the goats those hillbilly hippies drink from.

I'm sticking with Nilk

Not sure what you call milk made from nuts (the kind you get from trees and not the kind Wolf keeps an eye on) but I do know what you call what you get if you shake it too much: Nutter Butter.

Well that does it. Now this whole thread is foul, and we all should be ashamed of it.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-20-2016, 11:04 PM

Foul?

xoxoxoBruce · 10-29-2016, 05:57 PM

Um... no.

Is that for religious or medical reasons?
