burred
This term describes a specific kind of tactile irritation. In an industrial or mechanical sense, it refers to the unwanted slivers of metal or plastic that remain after a part is drilled or cut. It suggests a state of incompleteness or a lack of finish that can be dangerous to the touch.
In a botanical sense, it evokes the annoying, clinging nature of seeds that latch onto fabric or fur. The feeling is one of persistence and friction, where something small and jagged refuses to let go.
