Thursday, June 17, 2004 | Slip 18

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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Haven’t checked my mood ring yet. Y’all behave yourselves, ya hear? Principal JimRob is still out of town. I expect the utmost respect on this thread today. The Mods have been overworked lately.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer.

Folderol, also Folderal noun:
Pronunciation: Pronounced about three different ways. Take your pick.
Etymology: Probably fr. Latin

1) Impractical, unnecessary or excessive trimming of finery or effects: pretty, but flimsy or useless ornament : something that is unnecessary: trifle, gewgaw
2) A nonessential talk or action: piffle, nonsense

lest i sound too uppity here, i have it on good authority that both of my grandfathers, one a coal miner, the other a steelworker, came home on payday, got drunk and beat my grandmothers. but both grandpas died before i was born, and i never saw brawling of any sort between either sex, in my born days.

The best one I remember was one that spilled out into the parking lot of the club we were at............some stupid B made the mistake of coming at me with a baseball bat. she was disarmed rather quickly by yours truly and she turned tail and ran!!!! Her boyfriend was too stupid to follow her lead and wound up with a broken nose.

broken nose? is that all? I can think of a better place to use a baseball bat if some creep was stalking me, I'd say you were being generous with the fool.

LOL!
Well.. you could always come shopping with me.
I related the adventures that were had the last time I was a 'shopping assistant'.
There would have been no 'sheltered life', the world would have been chaos.
Incidentally, I told LJ about my shopping adventures.

Wanda Baucus is the wife of Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana. She is accused of assaulting a woman Tuesday at Johnson's Garden Center on Van Ness Street, Northwest. The alleged incident happened in the parking lot of the garden center. Sources told News4 Mrs. Baucus was upset because another customer was getting help with mulch ahead of her. The alleged victim said Mrs. Baucus parked her silver BMW so that it blocked the woman's car. After the two exchanged words, Mrs. Baucus allegedly struck the woman with a closed fist and then struck her several more times in the upper body, according to court documents.
