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....
i was 2 weeks postpartum for my 20th and they didn't have a 20th last year for who knows what reason. i was PO'd! i wanted to go!
You wouldn't have heard of Silver Lake. I think pond would be a better description. It is somewhere in the woods behind the hospital. Just a spot in the woods, really, where people would take their booze to drink.
Prepare to have your mind blown.
I went to one of mine at BHCC and couldn't believe how fat & bald some of us had gotten.
I thought, "All the old cliches are true!"
Well, it had to be the Physics class, as nobody actually on a sports team would have had anything to do with me.
I missed my 10th reunion because it was on/around my due date for my #1 son.
(Snorting thru nose!)
I actually have more than one (three, I think) BHCC stories!!!
i am dying to get a gander at those losers! i couldn't believe they didn't have a 30th, for heaven's sake!
Oh, do tell.
do continue to tell us stories, explorer!
i never set foot in the place, yunz were upscale ; )
My favorite sign mix-up is one my sister showed us in the Weird NJ magazine(I know, it's redundant) she brought to Texas. Someone removed the first G from the ad outside for Black Angus Burgers.
uh oh.....ROR!
LOL!
We had one of those restaurants across from where we used to live, and someone pulled the same stunt with their neon sign.
It took 'em a couple of weeks to fix it. I laughed every time I passed by.
The kids roar now every time they see an ad for those burgers. Backyard Burgers has no idea.
I remember the Elke Sommer stir. My neighbors belonged to BHCC and ran off trying to get a gander at her.
Their fireworks sucked. We used to be able to watch them from Hilltop Hose.
oh xskids wouldn't EVER let that go either!
We are so immature. My sister also brought some "whistles" for my dad's 75th that sounded like people passing wind. If it wasn't for low class, she'd have no class at all. ;)
Just lots of wind & rain. No damage.
