Word For The Day, Thurday, June 17, 2004
Thursday, June 17, 2004 | Slip 18

Posted on 06/17/2004 5:37:05 AM PDT by Slip18

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

Max is "living better electrically" these days. He had a pacemaker installed a couple of weeks ago.

Baucus would have payed dearly if she'd struck anyone associated with me.
Woman or not, if she tried to act like a man and go toe to toe with me, she'd have been treated like one.
(My dear sweet angelic great grandmother told me that if a woman tries to fight like a man, treat her like one. If you get slapped, shrug it off and walk away. if you get punched, reel back and slugfest away. Coming from great grandma, this was a shock to hear.)

Here is the new Joke for you Montana Folks.

What do you call a man, that ridicules someone as a "Fag Hairdresser", then runs screaming like sissy, rather than Confronting him like Man?

The Senior Senator from Montana....

Probably not. But you may recall earlier in the year he had Brain surgery for a blood clot and there were rumors that she had beaten him up and caused it. He actually fell during a footrace.

I chaparoned a group of five women [2 preacher's daughter's, one missionary's daughter,two safely anonymous for story edit purposes] on a shopping trip to a mall near where we were at the time.
(Poughkepsie Galleria)
And assisted my step-daughter in shopping for a prom dress.
Assisted because she and I wore the same size in clothes on the dot.. so she 'cut her shopping time' in half via use of a clothing 'model'.. guess who.
(got banned from a store for that, I did.. probably because my evil sense of humor got me.)

The chaparoning the five young women?
NEVER AGAIN.
I'll explain why in a second, getting overly long in post length here as it sits.
