Word For The Day, Thursday 10/10/02
The Verbivores | 10/10/02 (for most of you at least) | Mistress Bella and Miss Rika

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....


atrabilious\at-ruh-BIL-yuhs\, adjective:

1. 1. Melancholic; gloomy.
2. Irritable; ill-natured; peevish.

Etymology: Atrabilious is from Latin atra bilis, black (atra) bile (bilis). It is a translation of Greek melankholia (see melancholy), from melan-, black + khole, bile. According to ancient physiological theory, there are four principal humors (fluids) in the body: phlegm, blood, choler ("yellow bile"), and black bile. As any one of these predominates it is supposed to determine the temper of the mind and body. Thus an individual with a preponderance of black bile in his system would be atrabilious (or melancholic) by nature.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

was it about the dissing of Strom? that whole situation merits that tone of voice. Britt was asking his panel last night, has the institution of the Senate changed so dramatically, since he covered it, that a Senator's word is no longer to be taken at face value. This whole thing boils down to honor, and the Dems demonstrated, out in the open, for everyone to see, that they have NONE>
