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
7. hariolate
8. anhedonia

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

[xsmommy]

i didn't name it ya big silly! it came with a name!

[Argh]

.........peace..........

You mean as in "peace and love"?

I'll settle for the love part, but only if you ask VERY prettily.

[Argh]

Well, you can always rename it. I don't believe you'd even have to go to court and file a writ of habeus corpus or whatever to do it!

[xsmommy]

Who's up for a little breakfast? yuck!

[hobbes1]

And he's going to be in the Pirates of the Carribean... but it's anyone's guess as to which character. lol

Obviously the Sausage Smuggling Pirate...

[hobbes1]

what i am really dying to do is pick up the sex laden things like Cosmo or Redbook etc. but i would be too humiliated.

Sissy.

[xsmommy]

guess so. would it be manly to read it?

[Argh]

As a gal I used to work with said when we were discussing whether you should wash your carrots (she didn't think it was necessary): "Aw, c'mon, Argh, you've had worse things than that in your mouth before!"

(Little did she know...)

[xsmommy]

carrots come out of the ground where animals have pooped. of course you have to wash them.

[hobbes1]

Womanly.

Let me get this straight. You wear short skirts, and tight tops so the migrants at DD get their daily dose of flesh, but somehow, picking up a magazine, in the grocery checkout line is somehow, Embarassing?!?!?!?!?!?

[xsmommy]

i dress nothing like that.

[hobbes1]

Swimming In Denial again areya?

[xsmommy]

anyone who knows me, knows i dress nothing if not professionally.

[Argh]

Absolutely. She'd been brought up on a farm, who knows what she'd had in HER mouth?

[hobbes1]

anyone who knows me, knows i dress nothing

Or damn near close to it...

[xsmommy]

i don't think CJ is at work yet, to appreciate the farm imagery that you conjure....

[xsmommy]

it is going to be 60 degrees today. this is the first time i have worn a skirt in eons.

[VRWCmember]

that was extremely snotty of you to point out, vast...was that by any chance a neener neener you were directing my way?

Snotty!? You know I would never taunt you. I was simply unable to join the class until late because I stayed up all night with our youth at a lock-in at Gameworks on Sunday night from midnight to 7:00 am Monday morning. As a result, I had not read thru all the posts and didn't see your homework or your grade. Naturally, I was curious as to what the pet of the class had made on this assignment.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to leave and meet the rest of my foursome. We have a 9:00 tee time this morning. Have a lovely day.

Go Horned Frogs! Beat CSU!

[VRWCmember]

anyone who knows me, knows i dress nothing...

Commando Alert!!

[CholeraJoe]

She'd been brought up on a farm, who knows what she'd had in HER mouth?

I'm speechless.
