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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs as always. Subbie is also here for THREE days. So you better be nice, otherwise you get coal on your face. 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.
This word is pronounced “tuk er”
Etymology: I don’t know.
Verb:
1) Exhaust, fatigue.
I know what naughty words rhyme with this one, so be careful!
He is not a fan of professional sports...he is an SF fan--a nerd. He wooed me in college by acting out(on his knees) the part of the midget in "Plato's Stepchildren." "Please let me kill him!"
His parents worked their way through college as Arthur Murray instructors and his mother was a theater major. That boy knows the lyrics to every love song in the "Great American Songbook" and isn't afraid to grab his ukelele (yes, ukelele) and burst into song--or dance me through the house--should the moment seem auspicious.
In high school, his nick name was "Wally," as in Beaver Cleaver's older brother-- but I've always thought of him as my own personal Howard Keel.
I recall being at some miserable weather masses where I was the only alter boy to make it in, and the priest went ahead and started mass even though no one showed up in the church
No Altar boy, no Ushers, Just the Priest, and 11 of the Hardy Souls...(Most of the snow had not yet been cleaned up, and the congregation bc of the Tridentine, is not local...)
No alter boy? Are you an ex-Knight of the Alter, and therefore did you come out of retirement to save the day???
So your family and five others? That was it? Did they have an 8:00?
And gabz, WTFO?
Well, well, well. Look what the sheep dragged in. ;)
what about gabz and the world trade organization... ; )
Drove the GTO today and had to pull back at 97 mph.
Good grief, Doc! I had no idea it was so awful.
He never does anything halfway, does he?
Well, he's good that way, but in this case he could have made an exception.
Fifteen Men on a dead man's chest
Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum.
Come to today's classroom already.
Sorry, I'm pining for my squid duty this weekend
Taunting me about hockey again, Dr. Evil?
Yup. I've got pucks piled up to my butt. The best winners are the ones held by the Princess with xsteen's name and home phone number, Or hers that say, "Throw me a puck and I'll blow you.....a kiss."
