It is a viral disease that effects cats and dogs and is very nasty.

Also has an archaic use which Dork probably remembers to describe forms of political disorder. "an attempt to illuminate the moral roots of the modern world's distemper"

[Old Wombat]

Beyond animal diseases;


Distemper generally means a "weakening" or "illness" &, in English, should be used to signify something more serious than a "malaise".

The word, literally, means "poorly/badly tempered" (as in the forging of steel).

Didn't know that and after 30 odd years in the steel industry maybe I should have ! Anyhow looking at it there it's obvious

At last someone that knows what I thought I knew what I was talking about.

Not necessarily a good thing.........seek help

[Weaver]

So if I paint something with a distemper, can I put a wash on it with a malaise?

... and add dry-brushed highlights with elation? 

[Weaver]

Anyway Dork, I thought you wanted to be clear: do they even make clear distemper?

[Dork the kit slayer]

Your all being very silly.......I shall flaunt off stage right and think about modelling albeit in a darkened room.

[Weaver]

We always suspected you did your modelling in a darkened room. Has the mains grid got anywhere near Liverpool yet, or do those nice copper cables keep 'disappearing'?
