Word For The Day, Monday, 6/29/09
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".
adamantine; adj.
1. utterly unyielding or firm in attitude or opinion. Unyielding; inflexible: "If there is one dominant trait that emerges from this account, it is adamantine willpower" (Eugene Linden). 2. too hard to cut, break, or pierce. 3. like a diamond in luster.
Etymology:1200–1250; ME < L adamantinus < Gk adamántinos. See adamant, -ine 1
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 can’t believe anyone would be able to make a sex tape with John Edwards - he would keep stopping to fix his hair

That’s what happens when idiots who claim to be professionals join unions. That’s just one more reason they will never catch on nationwide.

And it’s older than he is!
My twins, being 13, don’t really like anything I listen to. My oldest, though, loves classic rock.

Lots of damage there, but nobody got killed.
I got part of the storm friday night, it was really cool to watch it come across the water.
