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....
it is gorgeous. only bc no snow yet! LOL!
those look GOOD! 2 cups butter, 2 cups sugar!
That’s true....snow will not add to the beauty at all.
They’ve tried an failed to prop up/entice/bribe two other stores to move to/stay in downtown over the past 15 years or so.
Just ain’t happening.
When you say Nordstrom’s doesn’t do Christmas cause the PC populace, what does that mean? No tree, no decorations, no items on sale?
It was 47 this morning at 7-that is the coolest it has been so far-the next several nights will be in the mid 50’s to low 60’s, which is more the average for here.
All Hillary’s efforts to keep
Her take on issues intangible
Are to keep eyes away from
A campaign that is frangible
Bill is no doubt advising her
To obfuscate and keep spinning-
After all, it worked well for him
When he needed it for winning
He’s helping her in every way-
Her coronation opening the door
To getting money for a speech-
And more interns than before...
The other issue is that if you do not know the word “Frango”, you’ll have a difficult time ordering in a restaurant in Brazil!
I love those signs with the word “Frango” and a cartoon of a chicken, such as the one I linked to in a previous post on this thread!

And then there’s Frango Morango.
Will have that stuff to some extent. But they had an actual event with Santa in the restaurant back in the day which was hugely popular. Another year they had a theme of OLIVE the other reindeer. Don’t know if you recall that tv special, I think drew Barrymore voiced olive. It was very cute and I know we have a Christmas ornament that nord sold and I think xshub got xsbaby and I matching flannel pjs with olive on it. All exclusive to nord. There’s nothing like that now. Xsbaby was little the last they had an overt Christmas theme, and she’s 21.
Neither Santa nor Olive are secular at all.
That’s pathetic.
Mmmmmmmmm............chicken......
Methinks the Millennials are becoming a frangible generation:
