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!

[Gabz]

Good Morning. C;ass is cancelled for 1/1/03. Teacher will need to recover.

WIMP!!!!!!!! (just kidding!)

New Year's Day is my day to party - it's so much fun hopping around to the various local spots and enjoy numerous adult beverages while watching everyone else turn green just from the thought of it!!!!!!!!

[Argh]

Go Buckeyes! Lick the Candycanes!!

[CholeraJoe]

I don't watch football or give a crap about it.

[xsmommy]

doesn't that make you unAmerican? or, at the very least, a fag? ; )

[xsmommy]

how Orlando Bloomish of you !

[hobbes1]

LOL....I wasg onig to say that Orlando Bloom Must be Logged in as CJ, but Ceej lives in the Hintrerlands, and spends his spare time Shooting things, which is a more than respectable substitute for football...

[hobbes1]

GMTA...LOL

[CholeraJoe]

or, at the very least, a fag? ; )

Nah. According to inside sources, most NFL players are gay.

[hobbes1]

Will Couch be watching From the Couch ?

[xsmommy]

you know i am teasing. i only like college football and basketball, and by "like", i mean tolerate being in the same room with it and glancing at the screen sufficiently to ask a question or two. i would never voluntarily turn it on and watch if i was completely alone.

[xsmommy]

i have to say brown and orange=tacky. i am partial to black and gold (stillers) or blue and gold (pitt panthers).

[Argh]

What is a Buckeye?

A small, shiny, dark brown nut with a light tan patch that comes from the official state tree of Ohio, the buckeye tree. According to folklore, the Buckeye resembles the eye of a deer and carrying one brings good luck. “Buckeyes” has been the official Ohio State nickname since 1950, but it had been in common use for many years before.

What is a Hurricane?

A lot of hot air that really blows.

[xsmommy]

i hate to say it argh, but if one were to use the Diane from Cheers methodology of picking a winner (which has always made intuitive sense to me), hurricanes can blow buckeyes.

[xsmommy]

: )

[Argh]

hurricanes can blow buckeyes.

Speaking of homosectional football players, they're likely to try, but it won't do them any good.

[xsmommy]

hope you are right, because there will be a distressed little dubs, otherwise. i was relieved to see both hobbes and dubs teams win yesterday, because i knew they would be churlish and difficult to be around were that not the case.

[Argh]

They were helped a lot by the Patriots beating the Miami dunderheads.

[hobbes1]

Speaking of homosectional football players,

Which would be ANY that play Home games in Miami of course...

[Argh]

Of course. They're also a bunch of dirty cheaters.

[CholeraJoe]

What is a buckeye?

It's a butterfly.
