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....


desuetude \Des"ue*tude\, n:

1. a state of inactivity or disuse

The desuetude abrogated the law, which, before, custom had established. --Jer. Taylor.

Etymology:[L. desuetudo, from desuescere, to grow out of use, disuse; de + suescere to become used or accustomed: cf. F. d['e]su['e]tude. See Custom.] The cessation of use; disuse; discontinuance of practice, custom, or fashion.

I'm up!!

I was watching our president tell the UN to put up or shut up.

And my cancer dog wanted to play, so played with her, and gave her extra cookies. She's getting fat.

She's got breast cancer. Had her spayed, and the initial lumps removed. She's got more lumps now, so she's the "baby". LOL, like I could spoil her worse than I already have.

And another cookie, so she can get fatter! She still feels very good, only has an off day once in a while, and the off days aren't bad at all.

Have you seen what they are doing to the new pumps? The heels are (finally) thin again, but the toes!! The toes in those shoes are completely pointed! My feet aren't shaped like that - I think you'd have to go into traction after wearing those!
