Word For The Day 9/12/02 Thursday

Posted on 09/12/2002 6:05:10 AM PDT by Bella_Bru

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 was thinking of the distribution, but if you're looking for a smaller enterprise, I guess bookmaking could work very well.

LOL, actually....

When I was auditing, I wound up examining a number of the larger porn companies. Those guys were a lot easier to deal with than the fortune 100 companies.
