2. any uneasiness or hesitation about the rightness of an action
Etymology: 1350-1400; Middle English compunccion (< Anglo-French) < Late Latin compūnctiōn- (stem of compūnctiō), equivalent to Latin compūnct (us), past participle of compungere to prick severely ( com- com- + pungere to prick; cf. point ) + -iōn- -ion
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.
the left has no compunction, they want to win at any cost. do not be demoralized, go out and vote.
No pushing at the door please!
good morning.
I have no compunction for people willing to vote for Hillary and nothing but scorn for those Republicans staying home on election day.
agreed. A+++
“Compunction” is one of those words used in many Orthodox Christian confessional prayers, of which we do not know the exact meaning. Thanks for featuring it!!!
But I do know that the clintons and their completely crooked operatives have NO compunction!! PHOOEY!!!!
A+++ glad to be a help!
A+++ did you read about her meltdown after the Lauer interview where he asked ONE question of which she had not been briefed originally, and she called Donna Brazile a janitor? bet she looked like this when melting down. Speaking of donna brazile, noon today Okeefe vid is to drop.
The Clinton’s, no remorse nor compunction
Criminality is the way that they function
Pure evil and lies
Which the righteous despise
Meet ego and disdain at their junction
UFOs? LMAO......those pesky deplorable irredeemables are certainly UFO freaks, right? So, instead of broken glass republicans we can be UFO fearless?
Anyone watch Walking Dead last night? They had a scene of Rick and Michonne naked in bed sharing an apple....last night in that frightening opener they had Rick being forced to chop off his son’s arm which reminded me of Abraham and his son Isaac. Guess you can tell I am studying Genesis in my Bible study this year. I was shell shocked last night after that show. Wow.
The media treats the Clintons with unction
No wonder the system does not function
Every day
It’s pay for play
As the Clintons rip off America without compunction
Good one!
O’Keefe claims downloading to youtube now...less than 10 mintues till live stream
excellent! A++++
please be the nail in the coffin!!
I don’t watch those things, LOL! we had a nice, but quick trip to Westerville, for my niece’s baby’s first bday. Everyone but xsboy made the trip so we have cute pix of Gord with little t, his cousin.
youtube has blocked the download from O’Keefe...remains to be seen what other site it will get out on. Seems Creamer confirmed Hillary herself knew all about his dirty dealings. Will know for sure soon enough.
heck, maybe even Obama knew.......what else did those 40 some meetings with Obama mean?
