Word For The Day, 11/25/02 Monday
11/25/02

Posted on 11/25/2002 7:29:16 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....

bouleversement\bool-vair-suh-MAWN\, noun

:

1. Complete overthrow; a reversal; a turning upside down.

Etymology: Bouleversement comes from French, from Old French bouleverser, "to overturn," from boule, "ball" (from Latin bulla) + verser, "to overturn" (from Latin versare, from vertere, "to turn").

Good moring, class!

Christmas talk is not intended to scare, darling. Christmas is my favorite time of year, and even though I have kids of my own I still count down the days to Christmas like a kid myself. I usually start playing Christmas music CDs on my computer right after Halloween (driving a couple of my coworkers crazy in the process). I'm glad you've got most of your shopping done; we will probably insanely start our shopping this weekend.

WOW, here is a rant on fellow Ohioan, John Kasich. From the Heartland is unbelievably lame, and the guy is as dim as i don't know what, but sheesh, i never took him for a loose piece o'change. Though, i guess i do recall him being chummy with Condit.

I wouldn't put too much stock in Doug Thompson's rants. He hasn't been the same since Jim banned him years ago.....

It seems President Peanut believes the U.S. should undergo a bouleversement of its military and economic strength by unilaterally disarming "as we are asking other countries to do". The only good thing I can say about this man is that his pathetic failed administration gave us Ronald Reagan.

It's stuff like this that makes me wish that the San Andreas would hurry up and do its thing.
