Word For the Day

felicitate verb
Pronunciation: 'fi-lis-a-tate

Latin felicitatus Date: 1605

1. : to make happy


felicitious: adjective, very well suited or expressed

felicity: noun;  the quality or state of being happy

felicific: adjective; causing or intending to cause happiness


Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD:

 

The Democrat fiasco in Minnesota at the Wellstone Memorial has been dissected and commented upon ad infinitum by various and sundry pundits and talking heads, but one of the most touching and felicitous is the piece today by Peggy Noonan. As is her wont, she takes it to the deep gut, personal level, a level upon which all can relate. Here she writes in the voice of Paul Wellstone, from the great beyond.

Let me tell you, when I watched the memorial and how you acted, I wasn't alone. Jack Kennedy was here, and you're not going to like this, but he said what he said the day Nixon had his meltdown in '62. He looked at you and said, "No class."

John Adams is here too. He turned away from you in disgust. "Faction!" is what he said. It was no compliment .

yeah, but then I would have had to be out in it. I think the Second shot of Tylenol did it. He was nice and cool, when I left at Zero Dark Thirty.

Alright... I got your implication now (I seem to be a little slow this morning)... using cultural slang on me, huh?

Although I did try to talk the wife into dressing up in something seductive later on....

Homework:

Softly stroking, fondling, and patting pussy cats is a good way to felinecitate loving happiness between mammals.

Unless you're a dog.

Or Hillary (Same thing perhaps.)

Then eating pussy cats is a good way to enjoy breakfast in bed.
