Word For The Day, Thursday 11/14/02
The Verbivores | 11/14/02 | Mistress Bella

Posted on 11/14/2002 7:44:58 AM PST 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....


raffish \RAF-ish\, adjective:

1. Characterized by or suggestive of flashy vulgarity, crudeness, or rowdiness; tawdry.
2. Marked by a carefree unconventionality or disreputableness; rakish.

Etymology: Raffish derives from the noun raff (chiefly used in the compound or duplicate, riffraff), meaning "people of a low reputation."

Good Morning, riffraff!

"Would it be better if your felt hole was punched harder and deeper?"

Uh-oh.

Ref: Punching multiple holes in your hand-felt layers .....

(Man! Talkin' to this lady this morning is tough ... without snickerin' Or M&M's. Or a pair of Mounds in your hands...)

Anyway ....

Did you get the "row" punch shown on the other thread - or a single-hole hand punch?

Seems that you could stack 4 layers of felt (two patterns worth) on a small board and wallop the stack with a single hammer blow if you had the 4-hole punch.

Six layers (won't say "sex layers of hand-held felt" because hobby would choke up ...) probably could work too.

single hole punch, robt. and whacking it would tear the felt. i am just going to have to suffer through this, thanks for attempting to implement your engineering ingenuity though.

I'm just wondering which one of them gave me a SINUS INFECTION. I'm sitting here all clogged up. My ears need a plunger.

I'm turning my homework in right now, Eala. We may never see a grade. LOL!

This raffish jerkwad is ONLY getting 20 years for killing a person while driving under the influence of only who knows what, then leaves his girl friend on the ground with a broken bone. He's crying. Poor baby. He's been arrested 37 times in 27 years.

You're not going to be listening to Al Sharpton or Hillary are you?

It looks like xs has moved beyond giving us a good talking-to and is ready to go straight to a ritual killing. I guess we could always try to distract her with a food fight.
