Word For The Day:
2000 MOST CHALLENGING AND OBSCURE WORDS | 10/18/17 | Norman Schur

Posted on 10/18/2017 6:46:37 AM PDT by Louis Foxwell

Word For The Day,


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".

KINESICS [kih NEE siks]

hear it pronounced

noun

Bombard's Body Language is giving me hours of enjoyment as I learn about the hidden motivation behind the words spoken.

Kinesics is the wordless expression of our meaning and intention through the "tells" of our body. This can be as overt as the signs given by an umpire at a baseball game to the twitch in the eye of a politician when he lies.


TOPICS: Word For The Day
KEYWORDS:
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.

While it is not my intention to deliberately make an assignment difficult there are times when a word is more interesting by virtue of its discipline than its usage. That may well be true of today’s word. Even so, I know the class assembled here is up to the challenge of finding remarkable usage for today’s word.

When you are making big bucks
Protesting by taking a knee sucks
The NFL
Can go to hell
And read my middle finger with kinesics

Robt is unsure what to right about this. Shrugs shoulder, winces, rolls eyes, and holds hands out, palm up as Laz attempts to demonstrate the absolute accuracy and total value of modern Kinesician economics has in the real world. 8<)

Punctuation is a poor substitute for facial expression. Given the nature of our media, typing words, Laz has a valid point, as described by Robert. How else to express the deep seated passion or derive sentiment from writing or reading a few words? A deeper dive into the alliteration and phraseology of comments will reveal much more than a ! or #X&* ever can.

Hillary’s kinesiks went out on her and they had to help her into the van.

Mueller is nothing but a Clinton toad
Taking his Russian show on the road
With an eye for kinesics, watch him strut
But keep a careful eye on his butt
He’s full of shit and it’s a full pant load.

News broke last night exposing that the FBI had the goods on Russian spies and the uranium deal. Clintons took in millions and Mueller knew. Yeah, he’s deep into Russian collusion, his own. Yet, he is after Trump?

Hillary’s “stumbles” — check the kinesics:
Maybe Parkinson’s? On analgesics?
If they keep her propped up
(And she isn’t locked up),
She’ll be running still in 2-0-3-6.

That is the nature of the swamp. They smear their foul rot on everything pure and beautiful. They cannot abide honesty.

The members of the NFL,
Has people who can go to hell.
We’ve hardly missed ‘em
And they don’t need to list ‘em.
Their kinesics are the things that tell.

Hill looks at our country and sees hicks
An eye roll, a glare, her kinesics
How did such an elite
Tumble down in defeat?
It’s simple! Folks tired of the sleaze-niks
