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]

interesting article on class warfare. i know many dems that think just this way.

[Argh]

Nice butterfly!

[xsmommy]

what would we find out about you from your trash arghy?

[Argh]

Mostly you'd find food wrappings and cigarette packaging and the only thing you'd learn is how truly boring your own life can be if you waste any time at all with my garbage!

The froward staff of NRO felt too indolent to footle with any encomiums of 2002--a task that, in any case, would make anyone atrabilious, as this year was certainly ignominious. Instead, they chose to promulgate, with great brio, the pedantic predictions of certain peripatetic pundits. A warning, however: Their opinions are hardly risible. In fact, their readers may be left in a state of anhedonia, which may well inspire them to become bibulous.

By the way, Teach, as much as I hate to vituperate, this visual aid illustrates nicely how I feel about being incommoded by Monday morning finals. I believe I have mentioned before how painful it is for me to try to use my brain first thing in the morning.

[xsmommy]

i stand in awe of your final exam...

[white rose]

I had way too much caffeine this morning.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yeah, me too. That's what I wrote for my homework. (I'm glad you handed it in first, that way she'll know I didn't copy it from Dubya.)

"Wow, that's quite anhedonia!", she mispronounced. "It's no calumny to say that I sapiently hariolate that with a little froward, operose brio and sedulity you could salaciously incommode my munificent desuetude sufficiently to cure my atrabilious cynosure of its anhedonia!"

[xsmommy]

extra credit.

WR's exam depressed me...

will the real hugo chavez please stand up?

It is beyond my ken how the dicator qua president of Venezuela frowardly manages to promulgate ukases stating that he is loved and still in charge. The oil industry sits in its 28th day of desuetude because of the strike, and oil prices are creeping up. The opposition sedulously attempts to oust him, but, as yet their operose efforts have not been fruitful.

[xsmommy]

well anyway, your exam brought out my most unattractive, kiss assish, competitive side. hope you are happy ; )

[xsmommy]

just wanted you to see my extra credit for the semester exam since i used your post and pic for it ; )

[Bella_Bru]

Beautiful, Arghie. But it does not relate to the news. That's an A.

[Bella_Bru]

<---------tapping foot.

Meek, only because you are a relatively new student will I let this slide. Turn it in by tomorrow.

[Bella_Bru]

Take your time. I am here until 5:30PST.

[Bella_Bru]

Goodness! Excellent work, of course!!!

A+++!

I believe Law will hide out in the Vatican, because he knows he'll get a note from the DA if he dares come back.

[Bella_Bru]

Very good work, CholeraJoe. 6 words, with a link, a solid A!

[Bella_Bru]

Go to the nurse. NOW.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I love it when you talk all French and stuff to me............. lol

[Bella_Bru]

Beautiful! Well written and timely. A+++!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh Joe......but you deserve that! lol...........You broke the hearts of many women with that remark........... ;^)
