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. ;-)

well as the shirt said, she's a JERSEY girl, right? ; ) we are immature also so that's probably why i like you so much!

I thought it required us to be smarter than the average bear, good-looking and witty, not necessarily in that order. j/k
well definitely all of those too, but if you are mature you are not going to cut it in WFTD class bc we will make you cry!
And if you are not self-aware, we will really go after you! ROR!
pity the mutants who were born without the selfawareness gene, bc their lives will be hell in WFTD.....
a total outrage considering what a joke her husband made of the presidency A+++
Exactly. Beavis AND Butthead simultaneously: OK, he spoke English better, but he behaved worse than they.
Real homework, rme.... Hurricane Dennis failed to excoriate the coast of Florida. Thank God.
The drugs have kicked in and I am slightly better. Thank God for American health care. Free meds from the doc besides...... the dang sinus infection is fading.

First, some alleged forget-me-knockwursts:
Second, a crocus in the grass as it should be instead of being in a flowerbed:
You're welcome.
Makes this darn window box pretty superfluous:
Happy birthday gas dr!
Given the chance, I would excoriate the likes of CNN, the NYT, and Hollyweird for carrying the water for John Kerry..
GAS!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
A++ we are all with you on that one!
