Word For The Day, Friday, November 19, 2004
Friday, November 19, 2004 | Slip 18

Posted on 11/19/2004 4:50:13 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:

conspicuous

NOUN

This word is pronounced “cons pick you us.

Etymology: This dictionary has the etymology way too small. Where’s Miss Rika with her new eyes?


1) Obvious to the eye or mind: PLAINLY VISIBLE: MANIFEST.
2) Attracting or tending to attract attention by reason of SIZE, brilliance, contrast, station: STRIKING, EMINENT
3) Undesirably noticeable by reason of violation of good taste or sense.

Whatching Bill Clinton yesterday it was conspicuous that he is not well. It appears to me there is more going on here than recovery from open heart surgery which I thnk happened two months ago, I think he may be dying.

Hopefully we will find out today that Arafat died of AIDS but I doubt this conspicuously hot potato will make it out. They will just say he died of organ failure, like when your heart stops, and leave it at that.

Do you think it was too conspicuous that I commented on both of these stories here?

Have a gander at this article. Dileep Nair was in the dorm with Howard and me at McGill. He was so polite and reasonable, I never would have thought he could do all this stuff.

That was downright CREEPY how spot-on that described Clinton. The need to always be around other people feeding his ego made me immediately think of why he was so easily lured (?) by Monica.

Scary, isn't it ?

Excuse me, I'm perfectly capable of committing favouritism and sexual harassment without Dileep's help, thank you very much. And I wouldn't have wanted to end up at the U.N. in New York because then I'd be one of the people I'd want thrown out of New York.

LulaBelle is afraid you will make her take off her pretty red collar and replace it with a hideous blue & orange one.

Yay Bear Bryant! Kill Miami!! Oh, wait, they killed Miami a few years ago. Howard had to go out that night and taped the game. He asked me not to tell him what happened. So of course I called him first thing the next morning and acted all depressed like he'd enjoy the game. I guess that got him all excited because he was REALLY PISSED when he watched the whole thing and Miami lost. Bwwwaaaahahahaha.....
