Word For The Day, Tuesday March 3, 2015



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".

harridan [hahr-i-dn]

-n
a scolding, vicious woman; hag; shrew.

[1690-1700; perhaps alteration of French haridelle thin, worn-out horse, large, gaunt woman (compared with the initial element of haras stud farm, though derivation is unclear)]

this harridan's vacas with with her daughters drive me insane. It has been apparent since DAY ONE, that they were going to ride this taxpayer financed vacation pony to DEATH and make sure that those girls traveled to every continent on the taxpayer dime.

Hillary, the heartbroken harridan
To the Clinton Clan—sorry she married in
He created a mess
With a certain blue dress
But her (power lust) loyalty’s what carried ‘im

To go fake nails or not...hmm. Every special occasion, they just break off and I am frustrated.

I don’t do fake nails. Just have a nice manicure done of your own nails. Nicely manicured short nails always looks better than fake nails IMO.

are you still in the Brasil?
I might point out that a synonym, and former WFTD, for harridan is VIRAGO.

Got to the hairdresser and had my hair trimmed up, eyebrows waxed and feeling spiffy about now. Even shaved my legs from the winter neglect.

I even bought my first MOTB dress for the wedding. Not sure if it will make the cut, but it was the first one in the right color. Found it at Dress Barn while looking for a sweater for this trip out.

My nails are pretty beat up from the gel polish. I finally took it off myself last month. They are cracked and glued and a hot mess. 3 broke down to the quick. Ugh.

those places get you with those gimmicks like gel polish. xsteen did it once and of course you have to go back to them to get it off properly [she didn’t and had experience much like your’s]. I stick with my own nails and have them file them short before polishing. I decline any Upselling they try to do me.
