Word For The Day, Tuesday June 16, 2015
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".
deontology [dee-on-tol-uh-jee]
-n
ethics, especially that branch dealing with duty, moral obligation, and right action.
[1820-30; < Greek deont- that which is binding (stem of déon, neuter present participle of deîn to bind), equivalent to de- bind + -ont- present participle suffix + -o- + -logy]
Up and at ‘em.
Mornin Dave
we are hoping that my grandson will be released from the deontology unit by the end of the month, as he is gaining and doing great.
Morning.
They still got ‘im, huh?
de ontology is the beginning of metafisix
35 weeks and 5 lbs and no episodes is the rule of thumb for release. this is week 34, he’s 4 lb 10.7 oz, and he hasn’t had episodes, but he needs to figure out how to eat yet. He needs to have the feeding tube removed and be able to get his food orally. I got to hold him for the first time last night which was pretty amazing.
For Obama, deontology is summed up by removing the e and omitting the ology.
Well, it sounds like the South American socialist-trained and Marxist-sympathizing pope is now weighing in on climate change - much to Obola’s joy and support. Just in time for his international take-over of all the world’s energy resources - and their taxes!
Deontology of dis is disgusting if you how much his actions will actually hurt the billions of poor worldwide that will be killed by enforced “energy poverty”.
The little babies seem to need simple holding and cuddling.
That feeding tube/breathing tube must be uncomfortable.
Or, add an “m.”
the current thinking is that skin-to-skin contact is extremely important for bonding, so since day one, xsgrandbaby’s parents have held him in the chair in his room, with his little chest against their bare skin for hours at a time. it has had major therapeutic effects. and yes, the feeding tube is up his nose and he pulls it out every chance he gets! they removed the “pic” line from his foot yesterday, which was a major milestone, that was another source of nutrition but he’s taking more and more breast milk, so they were able to discontinue that.
But you can dye them in pastel colors!
Whoever came up with the idea that “there are no stupid questions” obviously never worked with some of the people I have to deal with on a daily basis. What does that have to do with today’s word? Nothing really, just an observation that rings especially true today.
I always say “there are no stupid questions... Just stupid people.”
