Word For The Day, Wednesday, July 23, 2014-- potentate
;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".
potentate [poht-n-teyt]
noun
a person who possesses great power, as a sovereign, monarch, or ruler.
Origin: [1350-1400: from Late Latin potentātus ruler, from Latin: rule, command, from potens powerful, from posse to be able]
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.
I’m delighted to say that there is no longer a business within 20 miles that takes LoneStar cards, food stamps, or any other form of welfare. The general store, dollar store-even both convenience stores all have signs on the doors that advise everyone that no LoneStar, food stamps, etc will be accepted until further notice.
It is yet another way to keep illegals from being tempted to try to get way out here and hide, and that is a good thing-the nearest place accepting any welfare cards is the small chain grocery store in the county seat, 20 miles away...
A+++
An excellent analysis of our fearless leader, in rhyme. Well done!
That word was used a long time ago, back in ‘02, but I will trot it out again in the near future. Always happy to get suggestions. Thanks.
I almost posted that joke earlier. Here’s the lead-in: Why did the urban guy wear a tux to his vasectomy?
Shhh. It’s not racist if you just post the punchline. ;-)
Hey! I said urban!
Thank you!
Clickbait master, you are.
I have to say that even though he is a world class ass****, he is at least honest-almost any mayor of a major city here would be hiring out hits to silence what Rob Ford openly acknowledged...
