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

LOL!
One of my seargents thought the stuff had 'bite' to it, and handed me the bottle to 'sip'.
He seemed to think that I'd spray the stuff or cough.
Instead, he stood dumbfounded as I chugged the Everclear.
He grabbed the bottle back, and stared at me with deep suspicion afterwards.
Some nice stuff, works wonders for my coffee I am told.

This woman Baucaus needs some anger management training. You do that in LA, and you are missing forever.

Kerry is not only running for President but did you know he also was in Vietnam for 4 months before he wounded himself twice, got three purple hearts and beat it home and protested the war and called his comrades baby killers?

Then he married a rich woman, won a seat in the US senate, had his marriage annuled and married another rich woman.

This guy is a real American Hero.

Con 36 Lib 31 NDP 16 Bloc Quebecois 12, others 5.

The Conservative leader Harper apparently did well in the English debate (I'm told, I missed it), and looked the most responsible. Paul Martin spent most of his time ducking embarrassing questions from the others.

A+ for you, W. Even though you didn't bring in a thread, we all know what the thread would have looked like.

Then hopefully he'll get to write it 300 more times because that was the original punishment.

I wouldn't have bit no part. Cast iron skillets are much more effective.
