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.

I desperately need cleaning ladies. How long will your FIL be there? Hope your charade doesn't have to last too long! ;)

Just when I thought I'd seen the last of this turkey...

I had to split a car to LaGuardia with one of his staffers once, a really HOT BABE, too bad she seemed so fond of her boss.

I'd be delighted. Just send an airplane ticket, spending money, and get some avocados and leave them out in the kitchen two days before I arrive, and you're in! I'd also cook you a turkey with great stuffing and make my spectacular regular vinaigrette for a salad.

I've read that story. Do you know if it really happened? In the version I read, the two of them should be sharing a cell for rape.

The witch needs to touch up her roots. Her gray is showing. And for heaven's sake, could she learn to shampoo more than once a month???

if she is going to wear her hair that way, she HAS to touch up frequently. i have bangs and so i can get away with another week or so, but honestly it is not like they are hurting for cash. she can have them come to her and do it a her leisure.

Bill's hair looks like it was done by Al Hunt's barber. Maybe it's the rain, maybe his puffy do is slicked down but it's a different look since he isn't using AF1 time for his coiffures anymore. I am going on the record as not pitying him. He is a miserable excuse for a human being. And his wife is worse.

i saw it raining on his head yesterday, so i think his head was wet. and i admit there is something wrong with me for feeling so badly for him.

Well, so much for trying to get home early-time to go light the grill for steaks-that is unless I can get Argh to cook them for me...

I forgot to mention some butter and fines herbes and/or fines herbes Provençal on the steak. OK, finished now.

HAH! Actually, LonePalm is the real gourmet chef around here. My repertoire is miniscule.
