WORD FOR THE DAY: DIGAMY
2000 Most Challenging and Obscure Words | April 26, 2016 | Norman Schur

;


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".

DIGAMY [DIG uh mee]

hear it pronounced

noun

DIGAMY is a "second marriage." it rhymes with bigamy but is legal after a divorce, an annulment or the death of a first spouse. Johnson called it the triumph of "hope over experience."

In a Marx Brothers film Groucho, although already married, proposes to the suprisingly unflappable, or at least insufficiently outraged Margaret Dumont. "But that would be bigamy!" says she. "Big o' you?" cries Groucho, "It would be big o' me!"

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.

the media’s tune will change once he’s a done deal; then the onslaught will really begin.

And he will start moving to his natural positions on the center left. Scott Adams suggests he may go after Bernie voters by offering legal pot and free/cheap college.

That will go over well here.

If at once you don’t succeed, secede. Don’t do the same thing and expect a different result.

Then again, there is repeating the same technique for the same result.

in for a penny, in for a pound. as he slowly slides left the trumpkins appear to be assimilating to the shift and continue to excuse, or diminish the importance of those issues in which he goes leftward.
freepers put much stock in the dilbert creator, but he is anathema to me after he wished death upon those who oppose euthanasia. just another instance of what would otherwise be abhorrent being embraced so long as it is pro-trump.

xsboy and xshub will be at the game on Thursday PM. it was going to be me and xshub until xsboy's other plans fell through. I will go on Sunday instead. xsboy has back to back weeks in New Orleans for work. Next week is their big show/conference [8000 attendees and he's doing IT] the following week is some training they want him to do. Because he didn't want to stay in New Orleans for that weekend in between, they will fly him home for it, since the flight was about the same as the hotel fare would be.

Scott Adams has an interesting take on it. In a way, he is explaining to the Trump fans how/why they are being hypnotized.

he’s going this Saturday and will be there with his peeps for sat-sunday and this coming week. the second week he will be there on his own, and doesn’t feel the need to hang around by himself there. his job is so cushy, it drives his sister nuts. he will likely get 2-3 comp days out of this because of traveling and working on the weekend, and he already has very generous leave. And he is still coaching spring league Gonzaga hockey for another month [for which he’s getting paid a nice chunk of change]. he has a pretty nice life.

good piece on why the bathroom wars matter. not sure where trump ended up on that issue, bc there was his normal waffling, stepping back etc. but I know his followers try to pooh pooh the issue.

That is a well written article - we were so worried about democratic socialism we didn’t see them pushing totalitarianism on us...

I know xsboy enjoys adult beverages with his friends, but he is not one who would want to be out by himself in a city where he knows no one.

Bigamy is its own punishment.

If Hillary would have kicked
Bill to the curb back when
Everyone might not be eager
To hear about Monica again...

Bill’s probable digamy with
Someone caught in his snare
Wouldn’t matter-her speeches
Paid enough-she wouldn’t care

Instead she stood by her man-
He promised to make her queen
But it won’t happen-her temper
Is hardly that of some heroine...
