Dimethylpolysiloxane, as the statement helpfully explains, is an antifoaming agent. It’s a versatile compound that can be found in applications as diverse as caulk and shampoo. Also known as dimethicone, it’s not generally considered to be harmful.

A flowering plant native to the American Southwest that has a variety of applications: rope weaving, in herbal medicine, as a deodorant… and apparently, flavoring lurid neon soft drinks.

A fishing weir (as seen above) is a kind of trap designed to keep fish in a given area by hindering their movements out of it. They were often quite large, and proved to be heavily controversial because they could impede boat passage down a given waterway.

Pretty self-explanatory. This clause is a response to the issue of corruption (promotion of relatives, bribery) in the appointment of public officials, which was (and still sometimes is!) a huge problem.

The “forests” this document refers to weren’t necessarily forests in the modern sense – some didn’t even incorporate trees! The word, derived from the Latin foresta (meaning “outer wood”), referred to land partitioned off for royal hunting purposes.

This proposes a partial reform of Forest Law, a parallel legal system enacted by William the Conqueror to protect royal hunting grounds and the animals within. It became quite controversial due to the harsh punishments it stipulated for rather minor offenses committed on such ground.

The Anglo-French War ended (with an English loss!) in 1214, but apparently there were still many mercenaries and foreign soldiers hanging out in England a year later. There was a need to expel them, primarily because having lots of bored militiamen hanging around isn’t conducive to domestic stability.

Gérard d'Athée was a mercenary captain who King John employed to control southern Wales between 1211 and 1215. He was regarded highly by the King, and had played a key role in a previous military campaign against the French.

Much to the barons' chagrin, some of his relatives were furnished with handsome estates by association – hence this oddly specific clause calling them out.

Referencing “Tooka” (Shondale Gregory), a GD affiliate who was murdered in 2011. His set renamed itself “Tookaville” in his memory.
