Word For The Day, Tuesday 1/14/03
1/14/03

Posted on 01/14/2003 6:57:49 AM PST by 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....


roister\ROY-stur\, transitive verb:

1. To engage in boisterous merrymaking; to revel; to carouse.
2. To bluster; to swagger

Etymology: Roister is probably from Middle French rustre, "a boor, a clown; clownish," from Latin rusticus, "rustic," from rus, "country."

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

If anyone deserves to sit in the corner, Miss Bella, it's xs. She made fun of me before class.

Xs, care to explain yourself?

if you don't kniow that by now, you wouldn't beleive me if I said it. You would think i was trying to butter you up for some nefarious purpose, that I was being dishonest.

but since you already know that, I need not insult your intelligense by telling you what you already know.

you know when xs harrumphs that someone's horking her again. the problem seems to be that she's been horking a whole lot of late. Seems like she always horking one or another of the croqs, sometimes in groups.

She really can be sweet, but I'm starting to fret over her hork addictions.

Now be careful, Sir Camle, about promising to lick your habit of butterin' up in the classroom.

Wasn't it the Big Marlon Brando'ed that was last guy photographed buttering up people? (And he got REALLY fat afterwards.)
