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.

In the first picture yesterday of the four of them walking in, I thought BJ looked like some of his stuffing had been kicked out. The two Bushes looked good. And peanut looked like a demented grinning raccoon. Putz.

He really did look a little pathetic. Just remember he's a lying, terminal narcissist.

That's because you're a good person. I'm not a good person, but I feel a little bad for him too. It appears you and I are too damn wussy to be conservatives.

seeing hillary looking old and frail would not bother me, but for some reason i think this looks sad. i would prefer he go while in full Lewinsky than looking old and frail. it is just sad to me. she should lay around and suffer something painful.
