@contrex,
God pisses me off, Contrex. (Mais on peut faire pipi contre un arbre, si dieu le veut)

Look here: PIPI

Lapidary usually relates to cutting stones..

@Francis,
Lapidary is the art of cutting and polishing stones. Alternatively, a lapidary is an artist or artisan who forms stone, mineral, gemstones, and other suitably durable materials (amber, shell, jet, pearl, copal, coral, horn and bone, glass and other synthetics) into decorative items such as engraved gems, including cameos, or cabochons, and faceted designs.

I knew about the crustacé also called the "wedge clam".

While I was looking in Google Images for a picture of a Pipi I saw a number of things I did not expect... how can those women do that? have they no shame?

@contrex,
No way we can decide, having no letters for this clue.


Shame is a very subjective notion, as you know, Contrex.

I would not lapidate them for that.
