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....
(Choking on my lunch here!!!)
I've got a Gateway story too!!!!! Something about sloe gin and coke and someone else from Physics class!!
OMFG! THAT WAS ME!!!!
Oy yoi yoi!!! and did you have to then look at this guy in Physics every class thereafter? i am flashing back to those horrific type feelings.
dang girl, i was outta lawschool before i saw my first adult film. xshub when he was xsboyfriend took me when we were on vaca in myrtle beach. i was astounded!
I haven't laughed this hard since I don't know when......
I'm crying, crying I tell you!!!
For all I know, you could have been there, I don't think I knew everyone that went that night.
I am wetting my pants!!
No, he was a year older, so he graduated. Anyway, the worst part was that one of my friends (not present) liked him at that time.
Was xshub trying to give you ideas?
We're peachy! Especially me..I'm working from home. Today I've been writing scripts for a video we are doing at work. Now, I'm going to the gym. :)
You know, there were times when it wasn't such a bad thing to be the only girl in the class.....
Hey baby, wanna be my lab partner?
(Don't get me started on my Silver Lake escapades)
having just been up to Pittsburgh this past weekend, and talking about this stuff now, i am feeling waves of HS washing over me, it is so bizarre!! i am remembering stuff i hadn't thought about in umpteen years!
ROFLLLLLL
GO RAMS!
you were the only one in Physics? why was that? heck i had physics and i know dang well there were a bunch of girls in there. of course Mr. Staney was hot. and lord knows, he needed me bc his wife turned out to be a lesbo who ran off with the lesbian gym teacher Miss Herbeck by the time i was a freshman at Pitt!
hey, Explorer is telling all, now it's your turn!
so no ill effects from the hurricane? working from home and going to the gym sounds great!
You know, Silver Lake is one place that I was at precisely ONCE, and the memory of it is so vague that I think I was on a hike with my family and couldn't have been older than about 6 or 7. People weren't really partying (which, back then, simply meant drinking) at Silver Lake by the time I reached high school. I knew some people used to go drink at Billy-Goat which was a trail from near the high school down to Natrona. I never made it there, however. I was home studying for my SATs or something.
I think I'm actually going to go to my 20th reunion this October. Haven't been back for any of the preceeding ones.
yeah, that's what i thought... ; )
was silver lake a Heights thing? bc i never heard of it.
