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·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. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

I got a bunch of dog quotes from a friend. Here is one of my favorites :

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them. -Phil Pastoret

Are you implying that, like Newsweak, I haven't given proper attention to the ramifications (ohhh! there's another!) of my words? Why, my sources are impeccable and my superior moral compass allows me to post with impugnity!

With motives malicious, though turbid
Vincente, a bad ethnic slur did
He said illegals come through
To do jobs Blacks won't do
Even Sharpton told Fox to just curb it

Vicente is un hombre maldito, un miserable payaso, un ladrón, y además, es un traidor a su propio país.
