Other definition for those who don't know. Like me, who had to look it up: infused or permeated with some substance, quality, element, etc.; saturate
Thanks for the clarification but I still don't know what any of those mean (๑´•.̫ • `๑)
jizz oil all over it to make it waterproof
Seems like she's asking if he'd like the boots to be treated with (or soaked in) oils. To preserve them, possibly make them water-tight
Correct. It'san older term for boots impregnable to water.
Those are actually two different etymologies/meanings. Amazingly, the word "impregnable" itself has two meanings, which are kind of the opposite of each other.
See etymology 1 and 2 here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impregnable
For "impregnate", it lists the meaning "to fill pores or spaces with a substance" under the same etymology as knocking someone up (which is etymology 2 above): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impregnate
Thanks (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
