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....

Final Exam

As promised, today we will be having the final exam of the semester. Below I have linked 40 past WFTD’s. The exam is simple. You must use 5 of the words, in however many sentences you like, that somehow relate to the news. The minimum is 5, and for using the minimum, you will get an “average” grade of a C. Use more, your grade goes up. Use less, it goes down. Fail to turn in your exam, and I will submit your name to Principal Rob for a “counseling” session.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

[Bella_Bru]

Hmmm......A+, although I do not see how an man could find a stick bug attractive. Pretty face, but man, she needs some curves.

[Argh]

I dunno. If a coquette told me "Wow, that's quite anhedonia!", it would certainly be news to me!

[CholeraJoe]

She does have some curves, but I think she bought 'em.

[Argh]

why are car salesmen so slimy?

They don't wash.

[Argh]

WOW!!!!

[NeoCaveman]

Pretty face, but man, she needs some curves.

I love that mind of hers, but she could certainly stand to put on a couple of pounds.

[Bella_Bru]

See, women can comment on other women. Now, my idea of sexy is curvy. I love women who look like Marilyn Monroe, Betty Page, etc.

[hobbes1]

Thanx Argh, now tell me if you dont see some TitleIX discrimination

[hobbes1]

Now, my idea of sexy is curvy

Yes, Curvy and Athletic...

[Argh]

Me too!

[NeoCaveman]

Some very nice picks you got there.

I'll spare you the obligatory Sappho Alert.

[Argh]

I dunno, you got A triple plus. I got up at zero o'clock in the morning to hand mine in and I just got an A. Some guff about "news"...

[Argh]

Bat my eyes? ... These guys don't stand a chance........

Not many guys would. I certainly don't, but I'm easy...

[Eala]

Miss Bru, I got lucky and wound up with some time, so here's another one-sentence piece, this one based on 10 words from your word list, about an FR posting today:

BACKSTORY Hillary: book deal or book scam?

It would not be a calumny to vituperatively incommode (with brio) the munificence for false operose paid to the atrabilious dilettante qua accomplished author, cynosure of the Left.

So xsmommy, are you going to call me names again?

[NeoCaveman]

The Raelians of Cloneaid fame have a new pres....

ROTFMAO!

[hobbes1]

/chuckle

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I think there is more German than Pole in you...

[NeoCaveman]

I see you found the German sappho thread too. LOL.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I think the posters and pollsters miss the point. What I get out of that survey is that German women are simply more truthful than their non-master race counterparts.

[lds23]

Amidst the farrago of abditive and overt threats, both real and risible, to the safety and security of free markets, capitalism, representative democracy, and liberty, I fight the tendency to anhedonia by counting my blessings, and give encomiums to the munificence of our Creator.

Especially at this time of year, I try to ignore the salacious and ignominious tergiversators and vituperators among mankind, look to a better tomorrow.

There are even times when I wonder if the promulgated Biblical hariolations are being preponed to our generation.

But I am continually buoyed by the good will and cheer from those here and elsewhere on FR.

So I will propose a bibulous toast, especially to the coquettes, and with brio wish to you all and your ken a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
