Word For The Day, Tuesday, September 1, 2009
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
shambolic [shām-bŏl'ĭk]
-adj Chiefly British slang
Disorderly or chaotic
[Probably from alteration of shambles]
-adv shambolically
Sounds like something Austin Powers would say.
morning
It’s so cold outside, I saw a chicken with a cape on.
wbat were they doing?
It sounds like something I'll never say.
But I will offer this; why hasn't the word "shambling" come to mean fake jewelry?
It’s 55 deg going up to 75 today, which IMO is perfect. i love a little nip in the AM and PM.
You know. Flocking together.
LOL. My first thought as well. Shagalicious. Shambolic. Love the word though. I am tired of Obama and his SHAMbolic presidency already!!
We’re also looking for a Three Dog Night song to go with today’s word.
Too easy.
Ever see the movie “Drowning Mona”? They used the song in the title sequence. Decent flick for a dark comedy.
never saw it, seems like a lot of famous people in it though.
there are some filth possibilities with this word too, but i will leave that to some of the filth-mongers of the class [you know who you are], as it would be unseemly for me to GO there.
Yeah, it was a whodunit, with everyone in her family and half the town having motive or desire to see Bette Midler’s nasty character’s death.
Plus, the entire town was supposedly a “test market,” so everyone drives a Yugo. How can you not laugh at that?
it sounds good, i may rent.
Three Dog Night was in town a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t go but a friend who did said they were great! I thought they would have choked on vomit long ago.
25 years? You must have married young.
