Let them waste their time.....guns are a second amendment right and will never be fully taken away. Ryan is showing his lack of leadership....the ship looks like it’s blowing off course, yet again. A++

Dictionary.com has it as a real word....if I can’t find it in an American dictionary, I don’t use the word.

Unfortunate for them, but liberalism’s side effect is ugly...in more ways than one. A++++

Elizabeth Warren explained that "Tohubohu" was her tribal name.   She said that at the last pow-wow, her good friend Geronimo loudly expressed her tribal name, "Tohubohu!", and Chief Little Turtle responded with "Gesundheit!".


(take two)

After assessing the depth and the magnitude of the tohubohu encapsulated in their warped thinking processes and perverted political platform, America roared "Tohellwithbothofyou!" at the seedy and criminal Clinton duo.

So, this guy really doesn’t like cover charges, apparently.

Most amazing thing is that it’s not Fayette County.

Interesting that you should choose "tohubohu" for today!

Just last night, on another FR thread dealing with how our universe transitioned from a "tohubohu" state to the marvelous, complexly-ordered universe we inhabit, I posted the following (original) graphic:

The upper half of the image is the very definition and illustration of "tohubohu". So -- I am going to add that term to the graphic (following "high entropy").

~~~~~~~~~~~

Now: my "submitted sentence":

"Without intervention by the Creator to impose anisotropic, designed structure upon it, a "Big Bang" universe would have remained forever "tohubohu" -- and we would not exist."

More sickening evidence of the current tohubohu of our society:

Just got back from touring the building that will be my daughter’s restaurant. They closed on it today and they will begin renovations tomorrow. It was my doctor’s office forever, then a bulk food store more recently. We are going out to celebrate that, my birthday and Father’s Day all in one. Happy, happy, happy.

Hi TXnMA!!! Two questions: What’s “tohubohu?” And how is that transition to your new system going? I am most eager to see your presentation!!!

"Tohubohu" is this day's Word of the Day -- the subject of this thread. You might want to go to the beginning of the thread to see how it is defined here...

~~~~~~~~~~

Sorrry -- I expected you to be familiar with the term, which is a concatenation of the Hebrew words,

Tohu: תֹּהוּ

and

Bohu: בֹּהוּ

which are used in the Bible when it says "...the earth was without form and void".

I actually prefer the full concatenated form, (including "and" = "wa" = וָ ):

תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ,

which is anglicized as either "Tohu wa Bohu" or "Tohu wa-Bohu".

~~~~~~~~~

Either way, the term describes the chaotic, formless, isotropic emptiness which our Creator organized into the structure of our universe when "The Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters"...


The presentation is almost at a halt, due to problems with "Canvas", the graphic software. ACD Systems has "re-tooled"the software to run on this current MacOS -- and has eliminated or messed up critical features used in the presentation. Thousands of us "orphaned" users are anxiously waiting for them to get their act together. :-(
