Word For The Day, Monday, 11/16/15
;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".
hortatory; adj.
urging to some course of conduct or action; exhorting; encouraging: a hortatory speech. Examples: He had assumed a very pompous, hortatory manner, and I could well believe he held a prominent position in Asbury class.
Stories by American Authors, Volume 6 Various
Allowing for its standpoint the book is not virulent, and is a respectable piece of hortatory divinity on its own side.

(and is moreover axiomatic rather than hortatory), I use it partly for her sake, and partly because it is undeniable.
Records of Later Life Frances Ann Kemble
Etymology: 1580s, from Middle French hortatoire and directly from Late Latin hortatorius "encouraging, cheering," from hortatus, past participle of hortari "exhort, encourage, urge, incite, instigate," intensive of horiri "urge, incite, encourage," from PIE root *gher- "to like, want" (cf. Old English giernan "to strive, desire, yearn;" Gothic gairnei "desire;" Greek khresthai "to lack, want; use, make use of," kharis "grace, favor," khairein "to rejoice, delight in;" Sanskrit haryati "finds pleasure, likes," harsate "is aroused;" Avestan zara "effort, aim;" Russian zhariti "awake desire, charm").
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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Which candidates will undertake hortatory speech to press for Obama to alter course on accepting Syrian refugees. not that it will matter.
No pushing at the door please!
good morning.
Indeed it is. Getting a new fridge delivered right now. Ours died yesterday. Came back to life, but who can trust that?
Morning.
Cruz spoke out right away.
can you maybe use it in the garage for drinks etc? that’s what we did with our old one.
I didn’t pay much attention to the news this weekend, after the initial reports on Friday PM.
Hillary—venal and predatory
Her supporters—on Kool-Aid, all hortatory
Screaming her praises
“More freebies and raises”
It appears their stupidity’s mandatory
A++++ and won’t call terror by it’s rightful name.
A good leader can be hortatory in the dirrection they are providing. Then you get our President hussein, a spinless Muslin dick who is nothing but condesending. I can’t believe he had the audacity to tell us ISIS was contained just hours before the attacks in Paris, and still basically refuses to agree it’s islamic terorism.
Now you have a bait fridge for the garage!
Yes, I’ve seen this moron. My question is this:
I paid full freight to send my two boys to Georgetown and my daughter to Bucknell and Fordham Law. That comes to a total of about 3/4 of a million dollars. If tuition debt is forgiven, am I entitled to a refund? If not, why not? Why should I be penalized for paying tuition out of my pocket rather than having my kids take out loans?
Hortatory — a politically conservative critter that only Spock can communicate with.
A+++ yes, it was priceless that he said they were contained so close to the terror event. But of course, the media is helping to shill for him saying he didn’t mean CONTAINED contained, just sort of geographically contained to a small area. LAME!
Has Hillary! got anything going for her campaign except heraldry (er, whortastory) of pimping for Bill’s political career all of her life?
Nope, it’s hauled away.
she would say it’s on you bc you are part of the 1% and its your responsibility to not only pay for your kids but the rest of humanity. bc you are evil.
I saw this. She is a year or few out of high school, she has not studied economics, yet she has her opinion (like aW$$holes, everyone has one) and she doubled down on it. Evidence, facts, history means little to these precious snowflakes. I hope she realized her own fallibility on such issues.
good one! A+++
