Word For The Day, Tuesday 9/24/02
The Verbivores | 9/24/02 | Mistress Bella and Miss Rika

Posted on 09/24/2002 12:09:53 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....


animadversion \an-uh-mad-VUR-zhun\, noun:

1. Harsh criticism or disapproval.
2. Remarks by way of criticism and usually of censure; adverse criticism; reproof; blame.

Etymology: Animadversion is from Latin animadversio, animadversion-, from animadversus, past participle of animadverto, animadvertere, to turn the mind toward, from animus, mind, spirit + adverto, advertere, to turn toward, from ad, toward + verto, vertere, to turn.

A very early good morning, class. Welcome to School!

You are confusing me with others. I prefer the facilities of the opposite gender.

Good grief! Don't any of you kids have curfews??

Amid all the animadversions Madelyne Toogood has deservedly received, an even scarier point seems to be overlooked: Her whole freakin' "clan" is weird.

"(Ya want a view of want's IN the janitor's closet....)"

Hi RAC. I figured if I got close enough to see the janitor's closet, the noise that could be heard coming from within would get me as close to the action as I would want.

Although, I believe our esteemed instructor informed me that fur-lined handcuffs don't rattle, I have no personal experience that would enable me to accept or refute that contention. But I'll bet we could find some on this thread who could.

Dear Miss Rika, if, by giving you credit for the information noted above, I did so in error, please accept my sincerest apology in advance.

Curiously, crticism from Al Gore is more like inanimadversion.

On the flip side of "Unchained Melody" is "There Goes My Baby."
