Word For The Day, Monday, 11/9/15

;


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".

frangible; adj.

1. easily broken; breakable: Most frangible toys are not suitable for young children.

Etymology: early 15c., from Middle French frangible, from Medieval Latin frangibilis, from Latin frangere "to break" (see fraction ).

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....

The Obama economy’s frangible
In ways that are obvious, tangible
His “top-down” approach
Has engendered reproach
Let the free markets work; they’re not manageable

And his suggestion was that maybe if you are “offended” you don’t fly off the handle and instead give thought to calmly and rationally explaining to the “offender” why their costume does you grievous harm.

Not so long ago, Western civilization was solid and strong, under American leadership.

Now it has proven to be quite frangible!!!!

That’s interesting bc it’s POLLO in Spanish. It’s common for the Portuguese and Spanish to be somewhat close. Isn’t the Frangelico liqueur orange flavored? is that why Frango sounds like ORANGE chicken to me? LOL!

The little girl was homesick. College as bootcamp escapes her emotional life. She wants Yale to be her home where she is safe and protected. It is not and should not be. It is a place to grow up and become an adult in an adult world.

Instrument Landing System anttenae, located on the ends of major runways, must be frangible so that any aircraft either landing short or over-running the runway and hitting the antena will shear it off rather than shredding the aircrat.

These incidents are the ultimate in “Teachable Moments”!

We had to reweld an 18 inch diameter stainless steel pipe frangible two days ago ‘cause da steel broke when some previous (idiot) didn’t prep the pipe correctly.
