Word For The Day, Monday, 7/20/15
;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".
timorous; adj.
adjective 1. full of fear; fearful: The noise made them timorous.
2. subject to fear; timid.
3. characterized by or indicating fear: a timorous whisper.
Etymology: mid-15c., from Old French temeros (14c.), from Medieval Latin timorosus "fearful," from Latin timor "fear," from timere "to fear." Some early sense confused by mistaken identification with Middle English temerous "rash" (see temerity ). Related: Timorously ; timorousness
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....
aww the great big timorous cowardly lion! A+++
he is insufferable, and obsessed with race. A+++
Timorous Republicans are the other side of the equation that keeps socialists, “gays”, race-baiters, domestic islamists, and obamacare bureaucrats in power!!!!
exactly so! a+++
Well, they can stop that right away. It sounds stupid. ;-)
And the Orthodox-bashers have new disguises. They just take their old posts and substitute “Russia” for “Serbia”.
But their disguises are pretty transparent, really!
1. It sounds like a poor man’s “DelMarVa.”
2. Yeah, let’s all adopt hip hop slang.
3. DCA could stand for DC-Area, and it’s also the TLA for the Washington National Reagan airport.
oh well, you don’t live here, you don’t get a say : )
far too much hate in the name of religion, and hopefully that is now going to be curtailed.
the groomer sheared off Davinci’s ears on Friday, I was so upset! yes, I know they were matted, but you can cut those out; instead just shaved his ears down to the nubbins! I thought he was going to give Jules the puppy cut, but he must have been too afraid to after the fit I threw! seriously, how hard is it to leave the ears and tails look like a cavalier??? davinci ran upstairs and laid in front of my shower, hiding after that!
Indeed.
....far too much hate in the name of religion....
Or in some cases, in the name of the lack of religion!!!!
That too.
Haters hate, where is God’s love shining through them?
Oh, poor baby.
We got my dog a puppy cut when we were away. He looks so tiny, and his ears (which didn’t get any smaller) look huge compared to his head now.
aw I bet that looks cute! davinci is the opposite, he looks like a big puffy body with a little pin head!
That shirt is adorable! Sounds like a good compromise for your birthday dinner. Enjoy!
