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”.

Eldritch

Adjective

    Strange or unearthly; eerie.

[Perhaps Middle English *elriche : Old English el-, strange, other; see al-1 in Indo-European roots + Old English rce, realm; see reg- 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....

Well DVDs might be “last decade” but I’ve been watching Season 2 for months now and you are still waiting. ;^)

And an impressive display of “staving off” it was!

45 goals combined in 4 games! It’s like an all-star game with violence.

(And you can apparently cross-check Cooke at least 5 times in a row without being called for anything.)

Those two teams are nothing if not entertaining! Pens have a steep hill to climb needing to win 3 more, whereas Flyers only need one.

All the Penguins need to do on Friday is win one game.
