What is a Soft Opening? Soft openings are a good way for businesses to attract customers and draw a large crowd in preparation for before the grand opening. New sports stadiums may host amateur or semi-pro sports events before hosting a game played by a professional sports team.
Incense means both to make angry and a stick that burns slowly and emits a strong smell. If your new college roommate burns incense in your tiny dorm room, you might get incensed and storm out. How can a word that means a substance that is burned for its sweet odor come to mean make very angry?
The term refers to the material itself, rather than to the aroma that it produces. Incense is used for a variety of purposes, including the ceremonies of religion, to overcome bad smells, repel insects, spirituality, aromatherapy, meditation, and for simple pleasure. Incense is composed of aromatic plant materials, often combined with essential oils. The forms taken by incense differ with the underlying culture, and have changed with advances in technology and increasing diversity in the reasons for burning it.
