The Verbivores | 10/23/02 | Mistress Bella and Miss Rika

Posted on 10/23/2002 1:58:14 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....


vituperate\vy-TOO-puh-rate\, verb:

To find fault with; to scold; to overwhelm with wordy abuse; to censure severely or abusively; to rate.

The incensed priests...
continued to raise their voices,
vituperating each other in bad Latin.

--Sir Walter Scott, Ivanhoe

Etymology: Vituperate comes from Latin vitupero, vituperare, to scold, blame, censure.

If the word of the day was vituper in noun form, we could encourage all conservative candidates to "open a can of vituper-a$$" on their liberal opponents and retain the House and regain majority status in the Senate.
