Word For The Day, Monday, 7/30/12
;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".
footle; noun/verb
1. nonsense; foolishness; silliness. 2. to act or talk in a foolish or silly way.
Etymology: "to trifle," 1892, from dial. footer "to trifle," footy "mean, paltry" (1752), probably from Fr. se foutre "to care nothing," from O.Fr. foutre "to fuck," from L. futuere, originally "to strike, thrust" (cf. confute). But O.E.D. derives the Eng. dial. words from foughty (1600), from Du. vochtig or Dan
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Hobbes hears a The Who?
‘Wont Get Footled again?!?!?!?’
Buck Farack 2012!
and seriously as a black conservative tweeted yesterday, if your last name is Hooker, how in the world could you name your daughter DESTINY? excuse me, i think it may be DESTINEE. rme.
So if Paul McCartney joined The Foo Fighters, they would be The Footles.
You probably didn’t venture too far into VA, prob not beyond Arlington Cemetary stop, and with VA being a pivotal state in the presidential eleciton, it’s seeing a lot of activity. Maryland as a blue state is irrelevant. and DC doesn’t vote, so...
Glad you had a good time and that people were nice to you. DC is an extremely clean city, it’s always more noticeable to us when we come back from somewhere else.
A+++
Roflmao....I swear I actually said that out loud on Saturday.
You know I hate to be impolitic, but if you know SG was going to be in town you should have stayed home.
That’s as rude as routinely driving up I95 and not saying hi.
;)
I think they would call that subtraction by addition....
The South Korean chicks were doing a rub after the ass pat, like they were on a third date.
It was a little odd.
I made that very same point on our last thread. And it’s “Destinee” like a Frenchie.
No truth to the rumor that her middle name is “Colon.”
They’re actually touring, doing Quadrophenia, for a big ticket price here.
coming here too.
Actually the Allman Bros and Santana are at Merriwether Post Pavilion tonight, i gave a passing thought to going, but it’s IN maryland and that venue requires a slog in from a farflung lot and massive traffic to get out, so no way it’s worth it.
Can’t get there via Metro? I’m telling you, we loved riding the trains to get around. It beats driving and paying bookoos to park.
She’s pretty. Can we all agree tank tops on men are too gay for words?
he’s foreign, prob wears sandals with socks!
Lmao when driving to check out the shore house yesterday, we saw a guy with BLUE SOCKS and SANDLES! Could not have been 20
