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.
Minor Poets of the Caroline Period, Vol III John Cleveland
(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....
And now for something completely different - cats and cucumbers.

I have no idea what is going on, I left without getting involved. I have friends in the choir, so I will hear more I am sure. Not just our site, another one, too. There are 4 sites in our parish.
What do you mean by sites?
That is bizarre! Why are they spooked by cukes??
Someone posited the “snake!” reaction.
Some of those cats virtually teleported out of the picture.
going to try it with my dogs tonight, bet they sniff it and attempt to eat it.
We have a county wide parish with four different sites, ie buildings, in different parts of the county. They closed two since we formed a single parish. Two priests cover the whole county.
I got Rubio then Cruz. Rubio is dead to me, so how I got him as my top pick is beyond me. Immigration is too important and I don’t trust Rubio’s opinions.
I'm going to the horatory-um
Reminds me of a joke referring to “dog philosophy”.
It started drizzling, so we covered up everything and left work before noon-and when I got home and checked out the news, I saw that the dumbass in chief pretty much made a fool of himself and got his ass handed to him at the G20-even by the media...
Obama’s hortatory speech
Seems to have fallen flat
He got annoyed and pouted
Just like a spoiled brat
The media didn’t give him
A pass-and that is strange
It was a happy thing to see
A show of cojones for a change
By his minions in the media
Who made him look like a fool-
A tantrum throwing adolescent
Who gets off on breaking rules...
I’m having flashbacks to the time of that other clueless idiot, Jimmy Carter...
Regardless of it being a fine day right now, it’s still chilly in the AM and PM. You have to dress in layers.
After my poor post on the WFTD thread, I look forward to imbibing. Then again, after listening to pResident zero today, I need more than one thermos.

Another hortatory gesture (I think):

The word sounds like oratory from a horticulturalist. Who probably makes more sense than these people, anyway.
A++++ he really sounded like an ass yesterday. more so than usual.
A+++ good thinking on the horticulturist orator! I just can’t even with the black lives matter BS any more.
