Word For The Day, Monday, 7/20/15

;


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".

timorous; adj.

adjective 1. full of fear; fearful: The noise made them timorous.

2. subject to fear; timid.

3. characterized by or indicating fear: a timorous whisper.

Etymology: mid-15c., from Old French temeros (14c.), from Medieval Latin timorosus "fearful," from Latin timor "fear," from timere "to fear." Some early sense confused by mistaken identification with Middle English temerous "rash" (see temerity ). Related: Timorously ; timorousness

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.

Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

He may not be timorous, but he sure is a moronic blowhard. But Freeper Trumpkins are still on board?

No pushing at the door please!

I still like Trump. LOL Not my first choice, but my friend is a Trumpie. She love him. He is still soaring in the polls of the low information voter. She is more Democrat that Republican, too. I am not even sure she votes.

I like that he has stirred up debate, but he’s not suitable for officeholding. and if he can get REAL candidates to call a spade a spade that will be to his credit.

Timorous:

The response given to the threat
“give us Tim or we’ll throw all of you in the lake”

Jim Rob has spoken. Notice: The daily sport of posting Catholic bashing threads on FR stops today. Thanks. The bashers are not at all timorous. Should be an interesting transition.

Valiant and worthwhile effort on JimRob’s part. I pray it will hold, but have to say I remain skeptical, as the worst offenders in no way perceive what they are doing as nasty. A+++

The Dear Leader’s timorous avoidance of the subject of murders committed by illegal aliens suggests he realizes he’s losing support on the issue.

the funniest part to me was that many appeared concerned that criticism of the Pope would not be permitted any longer! LOL! as if THAT is what JimRob was saying. Anyone who spent two seconds reading the religion forum knows EXACTLY what jimrob was referring to and could come up with a list of the pepetrators, which include but is not limited to, the three suspended posters.
