The pour point of a liquid is the lowest temperature at which it becomes semi solid and loses its flow characteristics.

Famous quotes containing the words pour and/or point:
“In my skull,
from which vision took flight,
will come wine
will pour song
of the cool night.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition.

—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
