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".

cor·rob·o·rate \coh-RAH-buh-rate\ transitive verb - (other forms cor·rob·o·rat·ed, cor·rob·o·rat·ing)

to support with evidence or authority; make more certain

Also
cor·rob·o·ra·tion (noun)
cor·rob·o·ra·tive (adjective)
cor·rob·o·ra·tor (noun)
cor·rob·o·ra·to·ry (adjective)

Example sentence:
Michael Moore (see also buffoon, idiot, lard@$$) is an expert at making outrageous accusations filled with hyperbole and innuendo and completely lacking any corroborating facts. [disclaimer: This example sentence was not published by, and does not reflect the opinion of Merriam-Webster online dictionary.]

Etymology: Latin corroboratus, past participle of corroborare, from com- + robor-, robur strength

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....

Mrs. Bush takes my breath away. As opposed to Hillary, around whom I'd have to hold my breath.

By the way, the most corroboratable (HUH??) statement of the day is probably on this thread at # 6. In fact, to celebrate I'll have a fag right now.

No, not the kind disgusticulous preverts like, the other kind. The kind you suck on. TO GET TOBACCO FLAVOUR! Sheesh!! What a mind you've got, if I may be permitted such laxity in expression.

Well if he isn't deboner enough to accomplish that in my presence, she'd never fall for his trickery anyway.

Everyone? I thought the homosectionals mostly hung out at Castro Street, but then I wouldn't know, I've never been there.

Pictures? Hell, if some of us had the money, some of us would go to Alabama to perform a personal investigation. If you'll pardon the expression.

Cooraboorate?

Ya gonna box us in with this definition, or are we free to work with our classmates to drink the beer, then fold, spindle, and mutilate the case it came in?
