Word For The Day, Tuesday, 5/17/05
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".
turbid; adj
turbid·ly adv. turbid·ness or tur·bidi·ty n.
1.Having sediment or foreign particles stirred up or suspended; muddy: turbid water.
2. Heavy, dark, or dense, as smoke or fog.
3. In a state of turmoil; muddled
Entymology: [Latin turbidus, disordered, from turba, turmoil, probably from Greek turb.]
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. ;-)

looks like FUN! A++++
Still waters run deep, so I'm told
but political waters are turbid
'cuz shallows pick up all the flotsam
with shouting about what some turd did*
They curse and they turn like a whirlwind
while stirring up hatred and ire
the fog of confusion well suits them
their mem'ries are short, like a liar's.
A deeper-cut channel of thinking
would render a river of blessing
the garbage could then begin sinking
just like Teddy's car, I am guessing.
(*yeah, yeah. Like it's easy to find a rhyme for turbid.)
Ugh.
It's really hard to get Jean out of turbed in the da morning, especially when she's prone to staying up past 2:00 in the am.
Then a nice long hiatus in Leavenworth would do him good.
I fixed it!
A+++++ there's always TURGID, for which patton so....pointedly....mistook this word...
Hillary's making turbid fer 'er bed back?
"Ewe", he grinned sheepishly.
A++++ excellent. Harry Reid is a punk@$$ed wimp. (i saw a bumper sticker this AM, calling Bush that, but c'mon, Harry is the poster child for a punk@$$ed wimp!)
