Word For The Day, Tuesday August 19, 2014
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".
wunderkind [voo n-der-kind, wuhn-; German voo n-duh r-kint]
-n
1. a wonder child or child prodigy.
2. a person who succeeds, especially in business, at a comparatively early age.
[1890-95; < German, equivalent to Wunder wonder + Kind child]
salvaje [sahl-BAH-heh ]
-adj wild
Él ha estado actuando como un animal salvaje.
He’s been acting like a wild animal.
He truly frightens me
I guess the older franchises have fight songs? Seems like I’ve heard a few other songs -
Hail to the Redskins has been big forever, I guess I didn’t realize not all teams have songs?
Did you see manziel flip off the Redskins bench last night? They said he might be fined $50K - classy
I didn’t see it when it happened (I flip through on DVR), but saw the photo on Twitter.
We saw it and looked at each other and said surely he didn’t just flip someone off? My husband said he must have been signaling someone and thought it was his index finger.....but he taunted a lot during college games so it doesn’t surprise me
Jets fans like to spell their team’s name. I think that’s as sophisticated as they get.
I really hope he plays against Pittsburgh and tries something like that.
such a punk@$$ move. you’d think that with all of the bad rep he has for that kind of crap that he would attempt to rise above it.
Good one Al!
His wife is cuter than I thought she would be!
As I told my husband, a college team hopes to have a couple of stars each season, hopefully at least one on defense and one on offense - the rest are fillers. But once you get to the NFL, they should ALL have been stars. And, they are no longer worried about losing scholarships or getting kicked off the team. They won’t let anyone get away with some of that crap.
Ha - same deal here; I’ve pretty much not watched any of the challenges my FaceTard friends posted, save for Amy Freeze (weather forecaster i dig), some drunk’s from back in the Hegewisch bar days (I knew he would not disappoint), and Weird Al’s. Weird Al’s was good.
Humorist Frank J. Fleming: "If you don’t #StandWithRickPerry, it’s probably because you’re falling down drunk."
That is good -
I quipped on Twitter that I am waiting for this winter’s “boiling water challenge.”
With the type of winters you have, that might be welcome...well, maybe not boiling..
good one!
