The Verbivores | 3/12/02 | Teacher

Posted on 03/12/2002 7:54:52 AM PST by RikaStrom

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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of 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....

Baseball it is.

It's the bottom of the ninth, one out, and xsmommy staggers up to the plate. Wait ... she's not on deck, she's showed up in the wrong order...

HEY TEACH, I gotta complaint. I have to keep 2, repeat, 2 self-searches open, one for "chat" and one for "fr" in case anyone pings me with a lewd offer or the location of the Taliban nuke or the news that Hillary choked on a hair she got from some Coke can or whatever.

Well, when your lips are pursed correctly, that would be a prime invitation to have the zone of privates invading it ...Would It not?

I know you didn't ping me by oversight, but being male I'm a good sport so I'll answer you anyway. I don't have a purse. He who steals my purse doesn't steal trash, he steals nothing. You're very welcome for this vital data.
