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!

RiffRaff I was taking a baff

and all the WFTDers yelled "It's about ******* time!"

[gas_dr]

I was here in plenty of time for a change, and there was NO ONE to talk with! Then, I go to work, and everyone shows up -- these are the kind of things that can give a guy a complex.

Thank God for Arts & Letters Daily or I would never have found out about these problems at the raffish Iraq Philharmonic!

[CholeraJoe]

Uh-OH. time to take the handle off the Broad Street Pump.

How do you do what you do where you do when you do it if there's a snapping turdl in the commode?

I'm flush outa ideas......

Straining for a solution.....

[Argh]

Sorry, Lone, I can't do that because I'm stuck back here in 1962 and somebody keeps playing The Locomotion over and over and over...

By the way, did you see the reference to Broken Glass Republicans on Lucianne the other day just after the election?

[TheGrimReaper]

Top of the morning to you!

[Raffish reprehensible reprobate]

[xsmommy]

good to see you, gas!

[Argh]

Hi, Doc!

[LonePalm]

No I didn't. The link was to Lucianne.com and not directly to the article. It was gone by the time I got back from vacation.

Any students considering attending CPAC this year should be aware of THIS!!!!! holey moley! and i was excited about SEANNY last year? i will need to be restrained from DICK!

[Slip18]

I guess raffishness would be a good word for it, xs. Tucson is about as liberal of a city as San Francisco.

[xsmommy]

i had homework at 39 and 25 that miss bella overlooked, do you think i am falling down on the job as pet, slippy.....? : (

[Argh]

The reference was in Lucianne's description of the article, I don't remember it being in the article itself. Something along the lines of "The Broken Glass Republicans have done their jobs well" or something like that. I guess I should have copied it onto our thread for you, but I didn't realize you were gone. Oh, well.

[Argh]

i will need to be restrained from DICK!

You've got to be kidding... Nice choice of words there.

[xsmommy]

what do you mean, arghy? i love VP cheney!

[Argh]

I'm surprised hobbes, W, CJ, Robt. et all aren't razzing you about this. Too obvious, I guess.

[xsmommy]

they are too mature and serious to have such a low thought that was clearly not intended, arghy..... OK, i am choking on that sentence....!

[xsmommy]

actually, everybody must have gone to lunch together and left me here punching holes all by my lonesome.
