Koohii stories:

1) [Thora] 8-9-2007(223): [When I see the word pluck, I think eyebrows, not vegetables. So, to avoid confusing with pick (#733 採):] Each time this singular, long, wiry black hair starts to sprout out of my chin again, I pluck it with my fingers.

2) [Codexus] 25-12-2007(59): If you pluck your fingers, new ones will sprout in their place. (try it ;).

3) [phauna] 14-2-2008(24): If you pluck hair from your eyebrows with your fingers, more hair will sprout in it's place.

4) [kanjihito] 29-12-2012(19): fingers pluck a single sprout.

5) [Samsara] 26-9-2008(13): Every time I see this kanji I think of the snapple commerical: "White tea is a baby tea leaf, and while it still has a naturally light flavor…. we pluck it." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znAoCGATk8w.
