Word For The Day, Tuesday December 1, 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".

pandiculation [pan-dik-yuh-ley-shuh n]

-n
the act of stretching oneself.

[1640-50; < Latin pandiculāt (us) past participle of pandiculārī to stretch oneself, derivative of pandere to stretch (see -ate1) + -ion]

[SoothingDave]

Rise and shine!

[rarestia]

It’s been a while for normal pandiculation of my person, but I intend to get back to yoga before the year is out.

[Robert A Cook PE]

After the baker loaded too much flour, the pantriculated a sticky mess all over the oven when the dough rose too far.

[Old Sarge]

I am being pandiculated between work, home, and performing arts.

[NicknamedBob]

"I am being pandiculated between work, home, and performing arts."

But pandiculation is a performing art. Especially when a young lady does it. Men admire flexibility, you know.

And punctuality, of course. (Blue Thunder reference.)

[tioga]

Hillary is all about pandiculation
Her yoga cow face pose is a rendition
Of her Benghazi lies
As she snarkily plies
Whatever floats her massive ambition.

[NicknamedBob]

"Rise and shine!"

And reach for the stars. It's a stretch role.

[Jack Hydrazine]

At what point does pandiculation turn into gesticulation for the average Amish protester?

[Travis T. OJustice]

There was no time for any pandiculation in the shower this morning, as my hot water heater wasn’t running. Just a few seconds of cold water to clean the most important bits and I was out!

I relit the pilot before heading in to the office so my little princesses would have a nice warm shower when they wake up some time in the next several hours.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

In a naked bacon makin’ demonstration
The sizzlin’ pan caused me great consternation
The pain and the shock
Made me run to the doc
Who called it a bad case of pan-diculation

[TheGrimReaper]

Because I know you've waited all year for it.....

Now the first of December was covered with snow
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston,
Tho' the Berkshires seemed dreamlike
On account of that frostin',
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go...

[xsmommy]

oh go sing in France you baldheaded old goober ; )

[xsmommy]

Maybe this is too much pandiculation for young people today, but I thought it was taught in schools. Maybe no longer?

[SoothingDave]

Somebody tell Obama.

[xsmommy]

If he wasn’t talking about himself, he’d have nothing to say.

[tioga]

so the CO PP shooter was prochoice.....that blows a huge hole in their narrative. ....oh, the irony of an abortion supporter choosing to kill after birth folks on PP grounds.

[SoothingDave]

No, it seems the writer of that piece is playing word games. Since he “chose” to kill, he must be “pro-choice.”

[TheGrimReaper]

I have all my hair. Some of it has that crazy gray-looking tint to it, but I have it all.

I was speaking to James Taylor ; )
