Word For The Day, Friday, 9/3/04
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".
POSIT: verb. (pa-zit) tr.v. pos·it·ed, pos·it·ing, pos·its
1. To assume the existence of; postulate. See Synonyms at presume. 2. To put forward, as for consideration or study; suggest: “If a book is hard going, it ought to be good. If it posits a complex moral situation, it ought to be even better” (Anthony Burgess). 3. To place firmly in position.
Etymology: [From Latin positus, past participle of pnere, to place. See position.]
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.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Just as long as I can make it through this weekend I'll be alright!!!!!
Thanks tssyf. You are the master of the anagram, but every now and then I aspire to emulate your work.
She swore she shed C-shells by the she shore that she saw on the seesaw she saw?
My bro's twins just started 1st grade, and one likes it, and the other has proclaimed it to be a waste of time. He's ready for the military.
Is an emulatte is a bird-ey's view of a cup of coffee, or the meal that goes with it?
I am also a master debater, but nobody really cares.
ROFL!!!!!!!!
Hmmm, what about guys the like long luscious legs like Ann Coulter's or Teri Hatcher's, but also like big beautiful eyes (all four of them) like Heidi Klum and Kathy Ireland, and also like nice firm (but not too large) curvacious buns? What does that say about us? I am mostly a leg man myself, and the analysis of leg afficionados fits me to a tee.
I love her photo last year ...
Holding on to both parents with both hands (not quite ready to let completely go!), but looking around the door in anticipation of what's next ....
The Republican Convenion in New York posited(placed firmly in position) President George W. Bush in the White House for FOUR MORE YEARS.
ahhhhhhh
Thank you - that is a great picture!!!!
I had posited that there would be support for Alan Keyes and had a convention watch party last night to organize, no one showed up. Now I am faced with trying to determine if supporting Keyes is worth it. I see many are now running from his outspokeness, scared to death of theis 'crazy man'.
After some thought, I have determined that right is right and I will continue to support a man who lays it on the line. My thoughts take me back to a time with another man spoke the truth and others just could not take the truth.
Calling Cheney's daughter a hedonist and calling abortion murder is also the truth. Are you ready for the truth, hold on to your hats, the media is not going to like what they will hear in the next 8 weeks.
If Keyes only gets my vote, I can stand up and be proud of that.
I think your descriptions are much more accurate! I hope you're right about 2008! Personally, if GWB puts his support behind HR25, then all these other domestic issues will matter nothing to me! If we can get it passed, the entitlements will go away and people will turn back to conservatism on their own.
A+ vast sweety.
sounds like just the enterprise for you, HD!
All I know is this. Take the point about what Zell said about Kerry. 'A man isn't defined by his campaign Rhetoric'
Bush's espoused views and policies, are fairly close to those of Master of the Universe, Alan Greenspan, an Objectivist.
It is not so much for you and I to see the culmination of this, much as Korean War vets didn't all get to see the collapse of the Berlin Wall..........
A++ it SHORE DID!
A+ onesmall.
Ummmmm...If you're a sub, you do what you are told... ; )
