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....
This Gonzales B.S. hs to stop. On Meet the Depressed Sunday Schmuckie Scummer already, (as I F*NG PROPHESIED) said :
SEN. SCHUMER: What I said was that we will not roll over if they choose an extreme nominee. But the way it was reported, any nominee, we'll go to war--in fact, the irony is just this: I haven't criticized, nor has any Democrat I know, a single other name out there. It's Tony Perkins and his sort of--his far- right groups who have said when the president--when the name Gonzales was mentioned, they said, "No, he's unacceptable."
How f*ng stupid can these people be??? Every other nominee is going to be beat over the head with that club.
Wow-the pearl farm thing is interesting-I've seen the bats under the bridge in Austin-have you ever been to the bat cave northeast of SA? I heard that the landowners had closed it ti the public some years ago.
if Gonzalez were a good guy he would make a categorical statement that he would NOT accept a nomination and take himself off the dang table. A+++
He did.
I haven't been there. We've been to Natural Bridge Caverns in New Braunfels and they have a bat cave. I think Uvalde has a big one too.
i know he said something, was it categorical though?
See above.
not too dissimilar from Dick Cheney saying, i HAVE a job, to find a VP candidate for the president....
My new fave hispanic, per xshub's description, is Emilio Garza. xshub's dream scenario is: elevate Nino, nominate Janice, then when Stevens steps down go for Garza. a Court that LOOKS LIKE AMERICA..../bubbaloon
The neighbors agreed with us that one of us will call the sheriff the next time she goes postal, but she has to be caught in the act, so to speak by a deputy or attempt suicide for a judge to commit her for 30 days-since she only seems to go off on weekends, and a lot can happen between them (none of it good, I'm sure), I'm hoping there is a quicker way to put everyone on this road out of her misery...
My thoughts exactly as I read that quote.
LOL!!!
"she is a nut"
She is that and more-she is a Jekyll and Hyde bi-polar, too. Charming as hell when she wants to be, which was what made charles manson eyes suspect at first-but she's also instant assh***-just add alcohol-more than 3 beers and she is in full manic mode.
the old I HAVE A JOB is not really categorical enough, IMO.
As many witnesses as you had to the attempted assaults the other night would seem to me to be enough for her to be arreted on attempted assault charges - provided the son or fiance was willing to press them..........
I wish you all luck.
are you feeling better about charley manson as he relates to her? you were quite suspicious of him at first.
The one in Uvalde is big-the biggest bat cave I've been to is at Carlsbad Caverns-my ex husband was from New Mexico, we used to take my daughter to Carlsbad Caverns every year when we'd go skiing and to visit his relatives-she was just fascinated with the bats.
One of the neighbors knows him and says he is an okay guy-an electrician and rancher who raises and loves quarter horses.
well good, she is enough of a danger to herself to have to worry about him being a danger to her, sounds like the reverse is true.
