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....
Thank you, VRWCMember, for today's WFTD!

Saw her in RI a few months back. lovely, talented and VERY witty and sarcastic when dealing with libs. Highly attractive, but very thin, with thick blondish hair cascading down in torrents...
About midway through her debate, she seemed to take some pity upon her opponent and soften up a bit, but it was a wonder to behold!
you should have heard the gasps and chiuckles when she mentioned "That TRAITOR, Jane Fonda"
