"Scurf" is a word in ENGLISH
Minute membranous scales on the surface of some leaves, as
in the goosefoot.
Anything like flakes or scales adhering to a surface.
Thin dry scales or scabs upon the body; especially, thin
scales exfoliated from the cuticle, particularly of the scalp;
dandruff.
Hence, the foul remains of anything adherent.
We can't look to the world to restore our worth; we're here to restore our worth to the world. The world outside us can reflect our glory, but it cannot create it. It cannot crown us. Only God can crown us, and he already has.

An engineer, an experimental physicist, a theoretical physicist, and a philosopher were hiking through the hills of Scotland. Cresting the top of one hill, they see, on top of the next, a black sheep. The engineer says: "What do you know, the sheep in Scotland are black." "Well, *some* of the sheep in Scotland are black," replies the experimental physicist. The heoretical physicist considers this for a moment and says "Well, at least one of the sheep in Scotland is black." "Well," the philosopher responds, "on one side, anyway."
