Word For The Day 9/12/02 Thursday
dictionary.com ^ | 9/12/02 | me

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.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

.....it made me feel like I was in the 7th grade.......

Are we promoted already to 7th grade already?

Thought this was a grade A fifth class (plus or minus maybe a pint or quart or two...) full of jiggers (er, jiggles.)

(Looks around innocently.)
