 Word of the Day - yourDictionary.com
Usage: Today's is a lovely word that is used less often than the adjective derived from it: "pithy." For centuries it was featured in the popular idiom "pith and marrow," as those who are the very pith and marrow of a club, which is to say, the very heart of it.
Of course, when the British were traipsing about the tropics at the turn of the last century, they often wore really cool pith helmets, made of the soft pith of the solah or spongewood plant of Bengal, pressed, molded, and encased in cloth.
So English, as it is wont to do, kept its own "pith," borrowed "pit" from Dutch, and ended up with two words for the history of one.

 Pith Helmets and Hats from PithHelmets.com
For many of us, pith helmets connote old movies where British explorers were whacking their way through African or Indian jungles in their khaki clothes and pith helmets.
The pith, or cork, of certain trees lent itself as the basis of a headgear that was strong and protective and at the same time lightweight and comfortable.
Furthermore, the absorbing property of this natural material provided the bonus feature of allowing the wearer to immerse the hat in water keeping him or her cool during evaporation.

Pith is a utility for Safari that tracks the currently open sites, displays them in a window, and allows you to hide or minimize unused windows, If Safari crashes, relaunch it, and Pith can recover the windows that were open.
