Word For The Day, Tuesday June 7, 2016
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".
comity [kom-i-tee]
-n
1. mutual courtesy; civility.
2. Also called comity of nations. courtesy between nations, as in respect shown by one country for the laws, judicial decisions, and institutions of another.
[1535-45; < Latin cōmitās, equivalent to cōm (is) affable + -itās -ity]
Not a lot of comity on the ice last night, but a thrilling and fierce battle. Given the Game Four choice of “stranglehold” or “clean slate,” I am very happy with “stranglehold.”
The GOP primaries had lots of comedy.
But very little comity.
Should comity be a goal when an adversary is attempting to destroy moral or cultural frameworks, and eventually, you?
Hillary and Bernie are damn comities...
Said after drinking too much JD
Thrilling is in the eye of the beholder. I’m enjoying the games but they are pretty boring and the ratings are not great. Just a mismatch with the pens outplaying the Sharks. Thrilling for pens fans! Congrats I’m sure it will be clinched next game at Consol. No way the Sharks win that game.
Comity, the condition in which parties conduct their affairs with their hands on the pommels of their swords as reminders that an armed society is a polite society. Archaic
Passion is sometimes what you bring to the viewing. For the Pens fans, there is nothing more terrifying than a 2 goal lead!
The games have not been blowouts, for the most part there have been one goal leads being clung to. That makes me attentive.
The one columnist in the Trib called out Malkin yesterday and it worked!
Said he had to forget about being Geno and dig deep and find that inner Evgeni.
Bernie’s the star of his comedy
While Hillary just makes me vomity
When today is all done
Will they gather as one
In a fake sincere showing of comity?
Comity. Letang was fantastic, as usual. I don’t know what happened to the Sharks. They are not playing the way they did to get to the finals.
The Sharks goalie is keeping them in this.
They’d have been out in 4 without him for sure.
So he’s getting married I saw on Twitter? Applied for marriage license?
Close is what has kept it remotely interesting. Plus I loved the Sharks home games with their special effects like making the ice look like there are Sharks swimming below.
Gonna make an honest woman of his baby mama!
Good for him!
He just had a son, Nikita. “Nick” if he stays around here.
But the democrat primaries has LOTS of comedy, LOTS of “community” - but only for those who agreed with their definition of approved communities! - and LOTS of comity ... And no logic, reason, or intelligence.
Just LOTS of giving of other taxpayer commodities to the committed communities of communists.
The platypus is an animal designed by comity :D
