Sessile Oak
"The drummast of a ship may be called the sessile oak"

Drummast finds no results on Google except this article and abbreviations of users called drummaster, and is also not in the (complete) OED to which I have access through my university. There appears to be a kind of tree called sessile oak which is also known as durmast oak but there's nothing particularly notable about it. The whole bullet thus doesn't seem to make much sense, and I'm about to delete it. PeteVerdon 13:45, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Drops of liquid
The classic "teardrop" shape of a drop of water just about to fall from a barely leaking faucet is called a "pendant drop" by physicists. On the other hand, a round drop of water sitting on a surface such as the roof of a newly waxed car is called a "sessile drop." A pendant drop has a tail or stem, a sessile drop does not. The Wikipedia article on Hysteresis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis) does not employ the term sessile, but it references a publication (http://www.ramehart.com/contactangle.htm) that does. (I mentioned water drops above because they are such familiar examples, but obviously physicists apply these terms to drops of all kinds of liquids.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marvin W.
