Word For The Day, Tuesday February 23, 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".

parapraxis [par-uh-prak-sis]

-n
Psychology a slip of the tongue or pen, forgetfulness, misplacement of objects, or other error thought to reveal unconscious wishes or attitudes.

[1935-40; para-1+ Greek prâxis act, action; cf. praxis]

it is difficult to conceive of a way out of this mess we are in. I can’t quit it, I live here, it’s our local news and much like a car accident, I can’t turn away I just keep staring at it in horror.

Not sure if both of the incidents are related, but we’re certainly seeing no parapraxis of joy about Jeb!’s lousy showings nor Trump’s success in NH and SC in the parallel paths of democrat and repubbie Washington elites.

I have had some fun tweaking Trumpanistas on a lame "who should I vote for" vanity thread this morning.

It rained off and on most of the night ahead of a cool front-it is 59, mostly cloudy and it got windy enough that we shut down work when our plastic, tape, stencils, etc started getting blown all around...

Hillary’s occasional parapraxis
Are the Freudian slips that tell-
If she and Bill are in the WH
They’ll make all our lives hell

We all thought it was bad before-
When Bill was doing the stealing
But the amount Hillary has taken
From donors sends senses reeling

Imagine how much money those two
Would grab with no one to object-
Wrap your mind around that before
You think she’s the one to elect...

49 and sunny here. We’ve been having a string of really nice weather. It was almost 70 on Saturday.

We’ll have rain turning to snow before the week is over.

It had been 70-74 during the day and 50 or above for most of last week-but tonight we are going back to freezing/near freezing at night again for awhile...

He may have suffered parapraxis — he must have meant “prissy.”

Wow! when did Grassley find a set of testicles, and who sewed them on for him?

Apparently Biden now claims that that lengthy speech he made back then for a hypothetical situation that did not occur does not reflect his own thoughts on the matter. So apparently he must have been plagiarizing someone when he made that speech.

That is one of the reasons that I think that he is the only one strong and crafty enough to take on our many enemies.

That presupposes that he can be elected and I think that’s not possible.
