Word For The Day, Monday, 5/1/17
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".
ruction; noun
1.
an uproar; noisy or quarrelsome disturbance
2.
(pl) a violent and unpleasant row; trouble: there'll be ructions when she finds out
Etymology: n.
"disturbance," 1825, dialectal or colloquial, of unknown origin. Perhaps from eruption or an altered shortening of insurrection.
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 Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
A++++ sounds like Eve of Destruction!

Ok guys, I have lollygagged enough, I have a brief to write, will be back later to check homework.
You have good ears! It IS the Eve of Destruction! LOL!
Happy May!!!! Maypoles and cake for all!!
However, we can do without all those ructions at Berkeley, and our other once-great universities!! Off the streets, back to class, and respect free speech!!!!
The House’s obstinate obstruction
May lead to the Republicans destruction
We already hear
A big Bronx cheer
From voters ready to raise a ruction
even without music!!
A+++ indeed!
you misspelled ruction ; ) A-
A+++ Lord knows what will happen.
OMG I thought that was a parody, the thing looks fake as crap to me!
The press corps ruction
could not sway Trump from his plan.
His rally kicked butt!
It’s gotta be related ruckus and ruction, right?
Love reading the commentary and hearing opinions of our hockey games at home. Our theme is WE PLAY HOCKEY LOUD! And we do. The place rocks before the puck is even dropped. I wonder who will sing the anthem tomorrow? Let's Go Preds!
Yes indeed! ;-)
A+++ I’m hoping he skips it next year as well and that the whole thing is consigned to the dust bin of history!
of course, I was just joshin’ ya/
Yep - he should skip it forever and when they realize they are just talking to themselves, and it gets less and less coverage, and the celebrities quit showing up, and only unknown “comedians” will want to get up there and make fools of themselves, and more and more of the non-fake Washington news gets done by non-Beltway reporters, this thing will collapse of its own weightlessness.
The liberals never seem happy-
Don’t have a good word to say
Whether it is sunny and warm
Or it is a frigid and snowy day
Today they are all celebrating
A commie Mayday with treats-
Like shouting profanity-hoping
For a big ruction in the streets
They get off on attacking those
Who don’t buy into all they say-
Then howl that they are victims
When restrained and hauled away...
I spent Saturday and part of Sunday with Nemesis at his place cooking a requested fav dinner for him-chicken picatta, veggies and salad-and helping him repair the leaking outlet on the water heater-and clearing a blocked A/C condensation line from the attic-it suddenly started leaking water on the ceiling in the downstairs hall, sending us both running up there to see what the hell was screwed up-it was the most romantic weekend ever (sarc)...
I’m so glad that you are doing well with hand and dental...
