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.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

I went to bad driving school once. They bore you so badly that you are very, very good because you never want to go back.

Hmmmmmn.

Be careful now. Flubbing bodily parts in class (in publick view no less!) with hobbes could be distracting........

(Hobbes .... Hobbes! Nudges him ... Throws paper airplace to get his attention.....)

(Hey Hobbes! Did you ever find out why the coquettes always go around kicking their legs when they have them crossed in pubic? ....)

"i did not do a thing, i was not dressing for the dang cop!...

Methinks she doth protest to much ...

We have her word earlier (see ... I WAS listening!) that she was trying to outwit the boys by skipping her knickers ... and she just now said she did nothing for the cops ....

So ...... She didn't "dress up" for the cops to skip a ticket.

She was already undressed down under for them to try to avoid a ticket .....
