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....

ukase \yoo-KAYS; -KAYZ; YOO-kays; -kayz\, noun:

1. In imperial Russia, a published proclamation or order having the force of law.
2. Any order or decree issued by an authority; an edict.

Etymology: Ukase derives from Russian ukaz, "decree," from Old Church Slavonic ukazu, "a showing, proof," from u-, "at, to" + kazati, "to point out, to show."

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

The once lauded governor of Delaware is starting to feel some heat from her ukase of the smoking ban. Bar owners, others picket Minner.

A few other protesters weren't pleased with the presence of Joseph Lieberman.

It was probably not such a good idea to announce her plans to seek re-election in 2004.

They're having Christmas again?? For Christ's sake, we just had one last year!! Seems like we have one EVERY bloody year...

I'm with you Miss Rose, cancel it forthwith and henceforth, and while you're at it, do the same to my bloody birthday as well. And everybody else's goddam birthday too. Thank you for your time and co-operation..

I do believe that Santa has issued his own ukase in response to this sanctimonious Brit.

[xsmommy]

no one is paying much attention to the problems in Venezuela, but it will have a very real impact on all of us before long.

Homework:

(Entertainment) Tiny Tim finally went away from public view, shortly after he put his instrument in the little ukase one last time.


(National) Hillary! is demanding many concessions from the national entertainment media (excuse me, national press corpse), making her ukase for pre-written questions and self-serving interviews that call to mind Stalin's dominance of HIS media.

When will they learn that she is a lying, self-serving power-hungry criminal?

When will they learn that she is a lying, self-serving power-hungry criminal?

They will never learn Robert; you know this. Why do you even ask???

[RikaStrom]

Rhetorical question?

[NeoCaveman]

Good to hear. And your Jets should win Sunday, playing the Bears and all.

[NeoCaveman]
