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!
Sat AM, i guess i was in the shower, xshub was out at hockey with xsboy. BIL exits the guest room, to find xspup in the upstairs hallway, fangs bared and in the crouch mode... BIL calls for assistance. Xsbrownie pulls xspup away and puts him outside. BIL spends rest of weekend in abject terror. last evening, we had him back on the leash, pleasantly coexisting with BIL again. Kids are in xsboy's room playing video games, xspup is hangign with them. BIL pops into the room unbidden, xspup launches himself onto pantleg...
Thank the Lord the houseguests are departing this AM.
The abditive, froward government of North Korea appears to be reneging on the agreement made with the indolent, flaccid 42nd president, although Clinton's supporters, rendered bibulous from an overdose of his special brand of Kool-Aid, believe it is salacious calumny to vituperate their operose leader with ignominy for the failure of his nuclear ukase, which was promulgated in 1994, as they continue to heap encomium on the master of tergiversation.
