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. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
plaudit \PLAW-dit\,noun:
plaudits; noun, plural
1. A round or demonstration of applause.
2. Enthusiastic approval; an expression of praise.
The aim of the wise man was no longer the plaudits of the masses but autarkeia, or self-sufficiency.
--Peter France, Hermits: The Insights of Solitude
Etymology: Latin plaudite, "applaud" (said by players at the end of a performance), from plaudere, "to applaud."
Wow! That is a great junk shop-on top of a hill off the highway with a little road going up to it, and tons of stuff. Everything from antiques to oddities, and really good prices. I bought a "silent butler" butt can for the kitchen, and hubby bought a really old hand drill. I saw lots of stuff I wanted, but we were in hubby's little Miata-grrrr! I am well aware that it is with malice afore thought when he insists on taking that car whenever I want to go junk shopping (his excuse is that it has the only A/C that really works-neither his truck or mine have a functional A/C)...
I will have you know that I am very perky today..............
i am trying to feel better slippy, but it has settled in my chest and my voice is gone. my vocal chords are obviously my weakest point. how are YOU doing?
I'm not going to say it, nopee I'm not oging to say it........
A likely excuse.
Well hubby finally got home from work - so much for early....it was 10 til 5.........and then he proceeded to have to return all the pages he had gotten and put out fires until after 6. but at least he did remember both beer and dog food.
Feely perky, are we, eh?
Yes, Argh & Hobby noticed both your perks ...
Hmmmn.
No, wait, hold on. That didn't feel right for some reason......
Robert............... what am I going to do with you?
Dunno.
(Robt shrugs, looks at janitor's closet. Hopefully.)
B58, I'll be more than happy to add you to the roll call.
You do realize that they aren't right in the head over here?
;-)
Hey!
I'm right in my head.
(Shakes head. Shakes head again.)
Yeppers. Right there. See, it rattled.
That could be arranged........... I have a brand new set of cuffs, lined of course, just for you..... ;-)
Welcome to Word for the Day! The more the merrier! :-)
OK.
SITREP:
Ya gots your girl-type coquettes over there on that side of this here classroom. (Watch out, some of them have cootiies. Mostly, they're kinda of innocent; and occasionally they bring in DD's and KK's. (That's Duncan Donuts and Krispy Kremes. Some of them bring their DD's pretty much every day though ...) Texan5 got a hammer, so watch out or she'll nail you, rivet your attention, and then drive her points home.
Then ya gots the Teach up front. She grades your homework, but is susceptible to bribes. And limericks.
Ole Seadragon sits in back by the janitor closet holdin' on tight to the keys, but she's alway divin' off the to the Carib chasin' sharks and grunts and groupers.
Whyisa chases grunts too. But mostly she just catches groopers.
Us croquettes are on the good side of the classroom 'cause we're ... well we're just here. Seein' as your a regular guy you're a croquette.
Mrs58 is a coquette. So's slip18. She, like you, is soaking up hurriMcCaine's out there AZ's state.
It was a good weekend to be an Aggie, wasn't it?
Thank heaven he remembered the necessities of life-food to appease the dogs, and beer for the humans...
Here now, I have never used my hammer without provocation, Robert...
