Okay, some new things. Since another topic started on the General forum, I think these definitions should be written here to complete this topic.
DUST
n 1: fine powdery material such as dry earth or pollen that can be blown about in the air; "the furniture was covered with dust" 2: the remains of something that has been destroyed or broken up [syn: debris, junk, rubble, detritus] 3: free microscopic particles of solid material; "astronomers say that the empty space between planets actually contains measurable amounts of dust" v 1: remove the dust from; "dust the cabinets" 2: rub the dust over a surface so as to blur the outlines of a shape; "The artist dusted the charcoal drawing down to a faint image" 3: cover with a light dusting of a substance; "dust the bread with flour" 4: distribute loosely; "He scattered gun powder under the wagon" [syn: scatter, sprinkle, dot, disperse]

Storms of sand and dust sometimes overtake Eastern travellers. They are very
dreadful, many perishing under them. Jehovah threatens to bring on the land of
Israel, as a punishment for forsaking him, a rain of "powder and dust" (Deut.
28:24). To cast dust on the head was a sign of mourning (Josh. 7:6); and to sit
in dust, of extreme affliction (Isa. 47:1). "Dust" is used to denote the grave
(Job 7:21). "To shake off the dust from one's feet" against another is to
renounce all future intercourse with him (Matt. 10:14; Acts 13:51). To "lick
the dust" is a sign of abject submission (Ps. 72:9); and to throw dust at one
is a sign of abhorrence (2 Sam. 16:13; comp. Acts 22:23).
