Re: What does your forum's username means??
How did I choose mine? Mastiha is what mastic sounds in Greek!
Mastic (Greek: Μαστίχα) is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus). In pharmacies and nature shops, it is called "Arabic gum" (not to be confused with gum arabic) and "Yemen gum". In Greece, it is known as the "tears of Chios," being traditionally produced on that Greek island, and, like other natural resins, is produced in "tears" or droplets.
Originally a sap, mastic is sun-dried into pieces of brittle, translucent resin. When chewed, the resin softens and becomes a bright white and opaque gum. The flavor is bitter at first, but after some chewing, it releases a refreshing, slightly pine or cedar-like flavor.
The word mastic is derived from the Greek verb, μαστιχειν "to gnash the teeth", which is the source of the English word masticate.[1] The word mastic is a synonym for gum in many languages.
In Greece, mastic is used in mastic liqueurs such as Mastichato; in a spoon sweet known as "ypovríchio" (Modern Greek υποβρύχιο, or "submarine", also commonly found in rose and vanilla flavours); in beverages, chewing gum, sweets, desserts, and breads; and in cheese. It is also used to stabilise a sweet called "loukoúmi" , and mastic-gum ice cream. In desserts, as an ingredient of jam or cakes, mastic replaces cornstarch and gelatin.
It also used in medicene!

Well I chose LEADER, because since I was the one who opened this forum, I feel like the personal forum's guide to follow in any circumstances for all of my dearest members.
