Word For The Day, Friday, 12/31/04
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".
diaphanous
adj. ; dia·pha·nei·ty (d-f-n-t) or di·apha·nous·ness n. di·apha·nous·ly adv.
1. Of such fine texture as to be transparent or translucent: diaphanous tulle. 2.Characterized by delicacy of form. See Synonyms at airy. 3.Vague or insubstantial: diaphanous dreams of glory
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
A+++ that is so romantic,POE!
A++++ great job T5,and then that smarmy snot Gregoire in WA state, acting all smug that "WA is not FL" after her win, by what? 50 votes? and those are fraudulent and only on the THIRD TRY.
LOSERS!
I say count the votes in WA again-and again, and again, because it looks like Floriduh to me...
i guess it got too ...chilly... and the other two left. It is hysterical. it is like seeing the people wearing the DON"T BLAME ME I VOTED FOR KERRY tshirts (which i have actually seen worn), you wonder how they can show their faces since that does basically translate to L-O-S-E-R.....
i guess it was chris wallace that had Dino Rossi on last evening, asking if he would STILL be asking for a revote if he had won this last vote, since the process was allegedly so rife with corruption, do-overs etc. Dino was too nice, he said that he wouldn't want to be governor under a cloud of suspicion. but he did say that the most RECENT Vote had been said all along to be LESS trustworthy than the first two which are machine counts.
If all the coeds at Texas Tech were laid end to end
it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
(Thanks Dorothy Parker)
WHAT?!? We just finished "celebrating" Christmas and now we have to "celebrate" New Year's?? It sounds like a plot by Satan to me. I wish to hell God would do something about goddam Satan. However I don't see why we should celebrate being a year closer to Heil Hillary.
I'm wearing my non-diaphonous pj's at the moment but will put on equally opaque underwear later when I go out for fish and chips and beer and cigarettes.
You're going shopping in your underwear? Won't you be rather chilly?
xshub just now commented to me on how this particular holiday season appears to have lasted at least 3 mo, at least that is how it feels to us. i am ready to be done with this! glad your PJs and undies are not diaphanous. : )
Even my dips*** neighbor took the sKerry sticker off the bumper of her Tahoe, and she is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer...
i am attempting to gather up enough OOMPH to go to the grocery store. it is a pretty day here and not too cold. but i managed to sleep til 8:30 am and so i am feeling kind of sluggish.
i don't know,i feel kind of bad for Martha. i don't bear the animus against her that many freepers do.
A++++ i think this is something that i need to worry about.
She deserved to lose the contest-paper cranes? She never did anything that lame on her show...
Mooslims in Cleveland with lasers?
I don't either, I was just funning with the penal system.
maybe so. i never saw her show, and maybe it is bc i know so little about her that i have no ill feelings. but if i were Martha Stewart, in the slam, and there was such a competition, i would not want to win it. i would feel stupid even competing. everyone will expect you to win and those that hate you will vote against you no matter what. we have no idea how lame the nativity scene that was so small and homey looked like either.
