Word For The Day, Friday, November 12, 2004
Friday, November 12, 2004 | Slip 18

Posted on 11/12/2004 4:21:54 AM PST 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.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

New WFTD:

Nuisance– noun

This word is pronounced “new sense.”

Etymology: French again. Sheesh!


1) Harm, injury.
2) law An offense, annoying obnoxious or obnoxious thing that or practice: a cause or source of annoyance that although a single act is usually a continuing or repeated invasion or disturbance of another’s right.
3) A person that annoys by usually by obtrusion: pest.
4) A) A vexing, difficult or distressing practice or a state of things. B) Something that is disagreeable or troublesome: annoyance.

Adjective

1) Possession of the ability to annoy, distress or hamper.
2) Constituting a nuisance – used especially of wild animals.

Why is it I can never get the blue font on the second word? It is driving me CRAZY!

"And it's fun too."

I think it would be fun initially , but delivery of an almost eight pound baby might not be as "fun."

But I wasn't there. Only the Tiger and Mrs. Hobbes know.

Holy moley! Mosquitos love my skin. Fleas don't. Go figure.

You two must have had the jitters for days about the sharks.

We haven't retired yet. Maybe the mountains, except Cyber hates the cold.

I wouldn't care to retire in Hawaii for many reasons. I would take a cruise around the islands, though.

Mrs. Hobbes has reasons to smack you for that comment.

I'll bet you were by her side at all times soothing her through the pain. Bet you're a great husband. And that's the truth.

Having trouble posting. Will probably have to download the computer yet again. But what I said to you deserved two postings anyway!

If you routinely sit to his left, that may not be a coincidence.

Sure, I was right there. And During the stitching of the Episiotomy, I was kind enough to point out that she would be fully healed in time to cook Thanksgiving dinner!

Recess!

If someone needs a nap, the bed rolls are in the back of the class. They were cleaned yesterday by the Janitor, so use them at your own peril. Dodge ball is in the back closet, along with finger paints.

Behave!!!

I don't believe you for a second. But if you had said that to me while being sewn up in a very sensitive area, you would have had the scissors in your arm.

Good morning, ladies!




Some people think terrorism is a nuisance.
Instead of a Clear and Present Danger.
They have no sense.

Sucking their thumb. Scratching their bum.
Whining to their shrinks, ad nauseum.

They haven't a clue.
They don't want to be bothered. It's true.
Where's "Soylent Green" when you really need 'em?

Jack.
