Ross Campbell	BS: Regional dialect - coal dust = 'slack' ? (7)	RE: BS: Regional dialect - coal dust = 'slack' ?	02 Apr 25
Central Scotland (Lanarkshire coalfield) 1950s. The fine particles from the coal-cellar would be used to "slack" or "smoor" (smother) the fire last thing at night. If done just right, the fire could be re-kindled from the embers the following morning.
