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. Havent checked my mood ring yet. Yall 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
Ouch.
Does make one wonder though.
you tried on prom dresses????
Well, blue pleated miniskirt.
It admittedly was loose at teh back, but I'm told I looked smashing with my hunter green shirt and turtle neck on, my boots and hairy legs sticking from the hem of said skirt.
(Though I'd been looking for a kilt, but the local places that carry such do not have classical tartans. Drats!)
The sales lady had her eyes bulge out of her head when she saw taht.
I hammed it up and said I'd liek to buy the skirt.
(Step-daughter laughed, she thought it was hysterical, she did buy the skirt and said it fit well. I guess that's a positive thing.)
The Poughkepsie Galleria has a Frederick's of Hollywood, or did at the time.
Preacher's kids?
I'll never go shopping with them again.
They are all subdued in color??? As opposed to style?
Beige, I guess.
And how long exactly had you been wearing her clothing, before you figured that out ? ; )
I was thinking pastels.
Got to put my glasses on. I read pastels as pasties.
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!/howiedean.
See my last ping to you, and ping dubya to it...
wonder if this was before/after President Bush asked for help on slapping the US bishops into line on culture war issues.
No, the only way pasties are subdued is if they are under some guy.
A quick one, then I'm off to do another estimate...
Clinton wants us to buy his book-
He has always had the gall
To ignore the outrageous things he did
And focus on useless folderol
He did Monica "just because he could"
And he knows that it was wrong-
I'm tired of hearing about it
Can't he sing a different song?
i just now saw that. well he din't see no harm in it...
Mornin', everybody ! Happy Thursday !Slip18: Add me to your WFTD ping list please. I din't get pung this moanin'. :^(
seemed a little too quick of a turnaround time to have been in response to his request.
