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!

Texas trivia:

"Big Tex", the 50'+ tall statue that greets visitors at the entrance to the Texas State Fair each October, reportedly wears the 3rd largest pair of pants in the US -- Size 276.

The 1st and 2nd largest pants are, of course, worn by Jerry Nadler and Ted Kennedy, respectively.

I, being the scholar and the gentleman that I am, WILL NOT take your bait and torment xsex about her roisterous behaivor in the ice rink by making the ENTIRE traveling team.

(Indigent look.)

Xsex is the sole and best master baiter in the class, and I think that she won that title free and clear.

Heads and shoulder (inserted) above the rest.

(Rightous voice...)

I always give credit when credit is dew (unless the money is damp), but will also be willing to lend a hand anytime you need an assist in baiting the waiting masses.

That way you won't double harrumph the camle. (Unless he wants to go riding.)

(See? I can be nice too.)
