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.

We are each and all perfectly clear about the application of today’s word and its most abusive practitioner. Try to be a bit creative whilst ravaging your favorite punching bag.
Coffee and donuts in the AM.

(The official language of the United States should be Arabic. It's clear that our government is.)
To: Louis Foxwell
It seems reasonable that one who is responsible for
obreption would be an
obreptor; therefore:
Hillary is running for president because she wants to be Obreptrix-in-Chief.
(Aside from a species of insect, a Google search indicates no other uses on the entire internet of the word "obreptrix;" yet it is such an obvious word for our times.)

To: Louis Foxwell
Some call it obreption,
Some call it deception,
I call 2012 a rigged election.
And I’ll not be convinced
That this is a misconception.
It convinced me to invest
In self-protection.

Hitlery is engaged in massive obreption in her attemps to sway the potential jury pool for up coming trial for treason.

My understanding is the whole carbonite fiasco is due to email obreption.

The latest Loretta Lynch obreption
Was an effort to cause misconception
About Islam and killing
But the sheep were unwilling
And “redaction” got an ugly reception

To: Louis Foxwell
That does not help me expand my language abilities. There is zero chance that I will ever meet a person who would understand that word - except someone who just read it on Free Republic.

(Islam mandates warfare against unbelievers and is absolutely incompatible with Western society.)
To: I want the USA back
Allow me to be the first to offer you my most sincere contrafibularities! I am anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.
To: I want the USA back
OK then. I apparently have been operating under a hugh misconception. I have not understood that words chosen for WFD must be in common usage. I rather assumed the purpose of this exercise is to expand our common vocabulary.
This truly is a word with extensive and enormous purchase in our current climate. I have chosen this venue (WFTD)to bring words into common parlance that are otherwise dormant and can expand our verbal intercourse.
I suggest you use the word and offer its definition to those in your circle who do not understand.
Assume some leadership. I have.

Indeed! The very definition of obreption is "Clinton."

I could not possibly be in more agreement, Hillary the obtreptrix, yes! It famously engenders the name "T-Rex," a most appropriate rhyme.

I’m so sad for you that your world is so narrow and populated by the uneducated that you eschew knowledge for knowledge sake. Sad.

An enlightening game might be to ask the question, "What do you call it?" Some call it treason.
A hearty treat for you.

She is indeed. A pool of jurists may never be to her liking, though she would be better trusting in the hoi polloi than an entrenched jurist. This election is about her ability to cover her crimes with a patina of leftist justice.

A Muslim, a gay, and a liar walked into a bar ...
And the President got a strange ereption ( er, obreption) from the obreptionist at the desk.
