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”.

Sui Generis

Adjective

    Being the only example of its kind; unique.

[Latin su generis : su, of its own + generis, genitive of genus, kind.]


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. ;-)

Narcissism is not a sui generis negative character flaw in our president. He constantly tells tall tales, the ultimate spinner, a man who is a sociopath or a compulsive liar. The Pants on Fire President.

Tom Hanks recent racist incident is not sui generis of the left. As a matter of fact, it is ubiquitous.

Sui generis - asking for a lot of money in a lawsuit.

That 17min lap dance he performed on theO sure shows his perverted political desires. I love that he got caught with the black face schtick. Perfect. A++

Sui Generis.

Suuuu wheee! That we understand is the call to supper but generous? No sui generis round here, it's root hog or die.

Here at the garage over our Breakfast Bud we've decided this is probably a French word and we refuse to use it. Time for the Dessert Bud so I hafta go.

Looks like it’s another lost weekend......me and Jim Beam.....oh, those people with three pluses know the warmth of the sun of success while I shiver in the cold, empty darkness of only two pluses.....why oh why couldn’t your fingers have held down the shift key for one more second and typed another plus......I see the three plus people driving by in their Ferraris.....the sun playing off their perfectly styled hair.....laughing and listening to The Captain And Tennille.....I sit eating cold gruel and dreaming of the life of a Three Pluser......cruel world.....
