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!

I guess, like anything, it depends on who read Malcolm X. It's actually a pretty interesting book. But anyone who read it, and took Malcolm's message to heart, well, that was not a good thing.

That's why I noted in tiny letters "some years ago". Heck, she may not be alive, but I hadn't heard she'd died. Speaking of Sophia nursing...

An old Red Buttons joke on a Dean Martin roast: "Sophia Loren's son, who, the first time he went to wean, said, 'All that? Just for me?'...never got a dinner..."

But Miss Bella musta' moved the school street sign to the other side of the avenue; because her bouleversement didn't get to me.

Garrison Hearst is speaking for 99.9% of all football players in this country at all levels.

I'm a coach. I would cut a person for being gay. It isn't for reasons of hate or homophobia or any of that. It's about TEAM CHEMISTRY. If THAT isn't there, write off the season.
