Word For The Day, Monday, 7/10/17

;


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".

propitiate; transitive verb

to appease or make well disposed; conciliate

Etymology: 1580s, a back-formation from propritiation and in part from propitiate (adj.), from Latin propitiatus, past participle of propitiare "appease, propitiate" (see propitiation ). Related: Propitiated ; propitiating ; propitiatingly ; propitiable (1550s).

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.

Practice makes perfect.....post on....

He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

For CNN it might be too late
For them to get over their hate
You’ll never please
Those with a mental disease
It’s just a waste of time to propitiate

Establishment Republicans in Congress are doing everything possible to propitiate Dims on issues of healthcare and Building That Wall!

So a lot of legislation is unnecessarily blocked!!!!

The left wing media is having a cow over Ivanka keeping her father’s seat warm during a brief session of the G-20. Doesn’t anybody remember a much younger Chelsea Clinton assigned to propitiating Yasser Arafat at Camp David during the closing months of the Clinton Administration? Word was that the Israeli PM and his group were so offended that they packed up and left the “peace” negotiations.

Yes, yes. The propitituate games are much more interesting than the amapitituate games. (The pro babies are more experienced, and always suck their milk in more interesting ways .....

. . . propritiation . . .

Watch your spelling, and if wrong on a key word, correct it, please.

(This is the kind of mistake I make all the time in the urgency of getting a reply clocked in . . .) *****

When quelling another's wrath by satisfying his rightful demands, a quite appropriate synonym for "propitiate" is "placate."

The world does propitiate sin
In their world view it’s a win
All cultures are equal
A globalist prequel
Let the orgy of utopia begin.

PT day today. I have maybe a month or so more time. Not sure how it will go. They said at desk that insurance will be wanting an accounting of my progress soon, and it’s been amazing since my pool reopened. Water therapy has helped a lot. I can walk and stand with no pain for first time in some 15 years. I am feeling 20 years younger. Amazing world of medicine we have, too bad they want us on a socialized system of refusals and cost cutting, when life can be amazing with the right treatments.
