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....

One drawback to being at home is the distraction of the TV. Has anyone else noticed that Katie is wearing black...mourning perhaps?
I changed the channel and there was a woman wearing a chocolate necklace on ABC. It has my mind whirling with possibilities for the epic pome I plan to write. I hope it doesn't melt under the studio lights.

A large white silk scarf,
(Though it looks rather fruity.)

It can do double duty.

To a war, not a nuisance?
You can keep your beret,
I’ll take the Spruance.
