Common Expressions: FURLING

Expressions Definition
Furling (Stargate) In the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, the Furlings are an alien race. Little is known about them, save that they were a member of the "Alliance of four great races", along with the Ancients, Asgard, and Nox. However, occasional artifacts attributed to the Furlings have been identified. Furling writing has also been seen in the show in the first-season episode "The Torment of Tantalus" along with the writings of the other great races (though only the Ancient and Asgard writings have been positively linked with their civilizations).
