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!

it was intended as a major compliment! it was very heartwarming to see our classmates drawing close to protect one of our own...even if it WAS oph! : )

i am with you, gabz. i agree on maybe 2% of what OPH thinks. and that is most likely the very 2% that the ones that have it in for him are against him on. They think he was a libertarian wannabe, turned bushbot. Well i think he just gained a little (and i mean VERY little) sense...

Oddly, they haven't been able to do that since he left.

Curtis averages 104 YPG, and has 5 TDs in his appearences VS. those guys.

Besides, He is a THOUSAND times tougher than the three of them Combined.

60 games on Abscence. The only guy on that team now, that comes within a mile of that level of Physical heartiness, is the dummy (I wont take 1.6 mil, but will sign for 750 k ) Victor Green.

I know what you mean about ND. I grew up in Indiana & just moved back.... they practically think they walk on water. My alma mater (Purdue) can never seem to beat them in football, but we cream them in bball just about every year.

i went to a party here that one of my kids friend's parents had last year. They were Penn State alums and there were tons of them there. I was the only Pitt grad, but i find Pennsylvanians so friendly that it felt very cozy. They were a great bunch of jagoffs. I mean i was there w/o xshub and not knowing anyone but the hosts and had a great time.

all of the nuns at my kids school root for ND, just because it is a Catholic college. drives me nuts.
