I think you accidentally posted some line noise there ben.
Line Noise: n.
-
[techspeak] Spurious characters due to electrical noise in a communications link, especially an RS-232 serial connection. Line noise may be induced by poor connections, interference or crosstalk from other circuits, electrical storms, cosmic rays, or (notionally) birds crapping on the phone wires.
-
Any chunk of data in a file or elsewhere that looks like the results of line noise in sense 1.
-
Text that is theoretically a readable text or program source but employs syntax so bizarre that it looks like line noise in senses 1 or 2. Yes, there are languages this ugly. The canonical example is TECO; it is often claimed that âTECO's input syntax is indistinguishable from line noise.â Other non-WYSIWYG editors, such as Multics qed and Unix ed, in the hands of a real hacker, also qualify easily, as do deliberately obfuscated languages such as INTERCAL.

Huh, TIL. That's not what I understood frottage to mean, but apparently it does.

It's cool too because I was able to play it in Scrabble
You must have either used at least one blank, been playing Super Scrabble, or had a set of tiles mixed from more than one copy of the game.

I don't know how common knowledge this is, so please bear with me.
Not included in the embed above is this:
Another meaning of ruminate is to "chew the cud," which can mean "to turn it over and over in your mind." Or, if you're a cow, to turn food over and over in your stomachs in order to digest it. Whether you're a human or a cow, if you ruminate, it will take a LONG time.
Cows are ruminants.
