Word For The Day, Monday, 3/9/15
;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".
insouciant; adj.
adjective 1. free from concern, worry, or anxiety; carefree; nonchalant.
Etymology: 1829, from French insouciant "careless, thoughtless, heedless," from in- "not" (see in- (1)) + souciant "caring," present participle of soucier "to care," from Latin sollicitare "to agitate" (see solicit ). Related: Insouciantly.
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.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Hillary is rather insouciant about running for Prez, as SNL so aptly pointed out.

The high school librarian was utterly fed up with such childish books as “The Cat in the Hat” and “Horton Hears a Who” cluttering up the shelves so she insouciantly tossed them in favor of “D’Andre’s Booty Bling Yo”.
In order to avoid the ZOT, those not logged in to Free Republic, those whom beebers are not stuned, those not of the DUmmy persuasion, and so forth, regarding the aforementioned, and that within so sha’n’t expect less than a laurel and hardy welcome here.
The Rev. Jackson discussing his first date:
“I wanna take Susie to the picture show but her momma is strict, so I havta go wif Susie, Susie momma, and Susie aunt.”
My wife told me to never wear that outfit again. Sorry.

A+++ I can see that happening. But not my niece who is a librarian in the Columbus school system.

but it was so becoming! : )
It was “becoming” alright... but what it was becoming is the issue.
yes your wife was prob concerned that you were becoming... Bruce Jenner... ; )
Is this another one of them Frenchified adjectives with lots of extra vowels like bureacracy and beautiful and bureaus and the like? I’m always insouciantly worried about misspelling them!
Ouch.

The chef was insauciant, but insouciant nonetheless.
