The Verbivores | 12/29/02

[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....

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.

Here we go:
1. farrago
2. abditive
3. indolent
4. froward
5. ken
6. risible

And who is it that I am playing with?????????

[VRWCmember]

Thank you Miss Bella. Hey xs, what grade did you get today?

Orlando Bloom - Legolas

[Argh]

Your divine

Huh. And you've never tried me. Thank you, but I'm not divine, just your Adored Lord and Master.

You might do something about that grammar, s/b "you're", not "your"...

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Your divine wisdom.......lol......thanks

First of all, that was NOT posted to you........lol....and second of all...I do NOT spell incorrectly! I use the words your and you're correctly.......as well as using the words their, there, and they're correctly...........

[Argh]

Oh, they're correctly all right.:^)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Go back and read that sentence again pal....... the words are used correctly..........lol OH wait, perhaps in Canaduh you don't use those words the way we do............lol

[Argh]

I thought I was being funny...

[Argh]

Or maybe I should say I thought I was being funnily.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I thought I was being funny...

Well, that's what you get for thinking.............lol

[Argh]

I don't get paid to think, and people get what they paid for!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Truce.........peace.......... lol

[xsmommy]

that was extremely snotty of you to point out, vast...was that by any chance a neener neener you were directing my way? i sensed one from eala also, but i didn't deign to answer it ; )

[xsmommy]

would you two stop bickering and kiss and make up? sheesh, i listen to enough of that crap at home with xskids home on Christmas break. i will be slamming your 2 skulls together a la 3 stooges, like i do here... ; )

[Argh]

Yeah, like xs says, stop picking on me, ya big Texas bully! :^)

[xsmommy]

actually i hope she doesn't, because i sort of like the idea of being Moe to your Curly and Larry, and banging your noggins together!

you realize she is asleep and probably won't surface for HOURS since it is Christmas break at her house too!

[Argh]

Well, you can be Moe and she can be Curly all right, but that would make me H.L. Mencken, not Larry, in comparison. As for banging her noggin, I believe that's her husband's unfortunate prerogative.

And you're right about her not being up yet. I daresay she lollygags most of the day away, languishing abed.:^)

[xsmommy]

The actual name of the jrt purse, is Larry, Moe and Curly. yes it has a NAME!

i'm quite sure you are right about whyisa lollygagging. she has lollygagger written all over her. ; )

[Argh]

she has lollygagger written all over her

I agree with the "gagger" part.:^)

You mean that monstrous purse of yours has a name?? That figures!

How aboot "Pursezilla"?
