Word For The Day, Day, Date
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".
ex·co·ri·ate; tr verb
1. To tear or wear off the skin of; abrade. See Synonyms at chafe. 2. To censure strongly; denounce: an editorial that excoriated the administration for its inaction.
v 1: express strong disapproval of; "We condemn the racism in South Africa"; "These ideas were reprobated" [syn: condemn, reprobate, decry, objurgate] 2: tear or wear off the skin or make sore by abrading; "This leash chafes the dog's neck" [syn: chafe]
[Middle English excoriaten, from Latin excorire, excorit- : ex-, ex- + corium, skin; see sker-1 in Indo-European Roots.]
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....
Lord knows, no one from Pitt would carry on like that... ; )
Uphill, both ways...............
of course!
Other nations may publicly excoriate terrorism, but seems like we're the only ones doing anything about it.
OK, I actually have a suckerbite story from (drumroll, please) the SUNSET DRIVE-IN. (Actually, after it had gone, ahem, adult, no less.)
Lord knows, I've carried on with some Pitt alums like that.
why you loose piece o change!!! is that the one in Parnassus?
isn't that the dang truth! A++
UNNNGH!
GOTTA BE LIES!
explorer, you are going to be in for a serious beating if you don't come back and tell the story!
Nah, it was somewhere between Da Heights and Freeport. I'd be hard-pressed to find it (if it still exists at all).
i know i heard of it, so i am trying to picture where it would have been. what was the one down in Parnasus called? right next to the A&P.
Look at the bright side. It means you aren't the only one.
IIRC, I think it was still there the last time I was in town (about a year ago), but is deader'n a doornail.
ok the New Ken one was Gateway then, also dead.
It must have been between my Jr and Sr year of high school, and two carloads of us went up there to basically drink. I had never seen any adult fare before, and was pretty much grossed out. I still remember the name of the movie: Fantasex Island. It started with the a Mr. Rourke and Tatoo look-alikes and everything (I'm laughing so hard I'm practically crying right now!) Anyway, getting sh--faced and trying not to watch this, I ended up hooking up with a guy from my Physics class who I was really just friends with (read: beer-goggles) and ended up doing a really nasty number on his neck.
