The Verbivores | 11/15/02 | Mistress Bella

Posted on 11/15/2002 7:19:40 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....

appetency
appetentadjective

1. A strong craving or desire.
2. A tendency or propensity.
3. A natural attraction or affinity.

I do believe that you're skirting the issue, which is a man and his hemline. Now, if dubya wants to wear a kilted skirt, it really is up to him/her.

All I ask is that he cover up those dang ugly knees.

Actually I am on a tangential issue. (You'll still find those who decry the sight of women playing bagpipes, marching around in men's kilts.)

Whether dubya wears kilted skirts, or any other kind of skirts, I canna say.

I'm never one to skirt around a subject of higher interest.

(Nor am I a careless blowhard ....)

I'll see you in that kilt, (er, skirt) and raise you one.

I thought all kilts were him'ed, by definition.

Or was that,

"All kilts were 'Hmmmn. (I've always wondered.')"

"All kilts weren't worn"?

"All skills were learned"?

"All skillets were licked'?

M'Dear!

I'm Shocked!

Would "I" ever stoop so low as to imply that "I" would ever do such a thing....?

(Here, why don't you step on the escalator in front of me? Go on right ahead. Ladies first, of course....)

['Course, then again, I noticed you noticed ....8<) ]

No, no.

A tangenitial is what you might spot on a windy day when they're heavin' them there big logs up in Scotland...

Here, cosine on the dotted line......... (I'll check on on it later to confirm my interest in your acccount.)

A tangenial is that happy look the astronauts got when they found out that somebody spiked their powdered orange juice.....
