The virgate, yardland, or yard of land (Latin: virgāta [terrae]) was an English unit of land. Primarily a measure of tax assessment rather than area, the virgate was usually (but not always) reckoned as ¼ hide and notionally (but seldom exactly) equal to 30 acres. It was equivalent to two of the Danelaw's oxgangs.
Virgate (from the Latin virgātus, "rod-like") is an adjective in botanical and mycological jargon.
In botanical jargon, virgate most often refers to plants with wand-shaped erect branches or stems. For smaller plants or structures, the diminutive virgulate is used. The term occurs commonly in the biological names of plants, such as Vaccinium virgatum or Chloris virgata.
In mycological jargon, virgate and virgulate are used to describe mushroom caps (pilei) with pronounced radiating stripes or ribs, as in Tricholoma virgatum.
And when midnight comes around.
You touch me baby, show me baby
You touch me baby, show me baby
You touch me baby, show me baby*
Because I heard you said
We were going nowhere,
That you were cutting me loose,
Were gonna cut off the juice,
Because I know you're just afraid
I'll make you open your heart,
It don't mean a thing,
You can call it experience,
'Cause when midnight comes
I'm gonna show you who I am,
I'll knock the stars from your eyes,
I'm gonna make you realize
