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!

I just read on CNN that our favorite nuisance, Michael Moore is gearing up to do a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11. Barf.

well look at you!

You have no idea how glad I am that I can't be seen! I feel distinctly crusty

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++++ for you, umbob.

Good boy! Onion soup is FILLED with Vitamin C.

Try some chicken noodle soup today. There's something in the chicken and broth that makes you better.

Like I know anything. We both still have this lovely cold. It's not enough to kill ya, but it sure takes its time to get better.

Poor xshub. And where is he storing his golf clubs?

I don't care for Mexico. Give me the Carribean any day.

Is xshub working down there? Just remember these words: Como se declara: Cupable, no cupable o no me pongo. Just joking! Court stuff.

I'm still on regular time which has changed everywhere else. I do get up at 5:00 a.m. to get Cyber his coffee and newspaper. I really should get a schedule in here and start at 6:00 a.m., so everyone knows when the thread will start.

I've had those follow-ups. I hate mammos. I hate them. They always screw up on me because I'm panting when I'm in pain, and they say, "Hold your breath." Like there's any breath to hold. So they have to do them over.

There's no reason why a new test hasn't been found that is not as painful.

What does one wear-
Not to War, but to Nuisance?
A floppy beret,
With a sense of insouciance.

A large white silk scarf,
(Though it looks rather fruity.)
If one needs to surrender,
It can do double duty.

But what would one wear,
To a war, not a nuisance?
You can keep your beret,
I’ll take the Spruance.
