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.

I think the shoe event would be much easier for the Olympics. Who can tear their shoe apart faster while hitting a dead body or statue as they are pulled down the street.
What's so happy about it? It's pouring rain, which is a bloody nuisance in and of itself.
From the archives of often used liberal pick-up lines??

Politicians are naught but nuisance,
Always put in their two cents,
Their words 'dime a dozen',
But they don't mean nuthin',
'Cause they think the folks are too dense!

In the meantime, I have been distracted by today's installment of the DUmmie funnies with a focus on their response to werenotsorry.com!
