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.

Bush's time crunch, at the Clinton Lie-brary, is conspicuous.

LMAO! Great pic.

Was Jennings not completely annoying? Bill looks more like Ted all the time.

Congressman Hostetler thinks the name Interstate 69 or "I 69" for short is too conspicuous.

P.S. It's a parody people.

Oh this is an easy one....

Chelsea's FAT BUTT was very conspicuous in that leather skirt. I just thought to myself, "Honey, don't GO THERE. NOT flattering."

So true - you can never predict college football.......last week Texas A&M played a very good game against my beloved Texas Tech and beat us - our passing game was ranked #1 in the country and their passing defense was #99 - in that regard they smeared us......

The game went into overtime and they scored, we didn't........ heartbreaking for us, wonderful for TAMU, and my congrats to Secret Garden and Robert.........

I liked the way we could actually see her hair frizzing up due to the humidity.

I just got to say it. I hate the Texas Tech, pass for 500 yards, style of football. Football is about lining up and hitting people to acquire three or more yards on the ground and the repeating. Sorry, but that's my opinion as a football traditionalist.

I FINALLY figured out what went wrong with the democrats. when they put out the call for aged hippies, people misunderstood and thought they said aged HIPPOS! that's why they got ronstadt, moore, et. al. on board.

Happy Friday!

The behavior of Bill Clinton during the opening of his Presidential Library is further proof of the Conspicuous Existence that he and Democrats such as Kerry insist on living.

read description halfway down example page.

NOUN

This word is pronounced “cons pick you us.

Gee.

OK.

(I always thought NOUN was pronounced, like, you know, "nown". The thongs you learn here. Wow. Wown?)

In related news, about conspickyouonus, ABBCNNBCBS are fawning and orgasming over their Hilary (er, Bill) interviews as they continue to anoint her to the presidency in 2008.

Hey now, I don't see you complaining about the quarterback for the U of Texas who runs every freaking play! I swear the guy hardly ever gives the ball to anyone....he's something like 6'5" and his body looks like something out of a museum, and you can see through his pants (I've always hated the white pants UT wears) but if you can get past staring at him, he hogs the ball..........

I'm a Tide Fan father of two Auburn Alum. I feel confident that Auburn will win tomorrow. This is a rare instance that I put the State over the School. Auburn can be the National Champion.

This is gonna hurt a bit but WARRRRRRRRR EAGLE
