Word For The Day, Friday, 3/21/03

Posted on 03/21/2003 1:42:33 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....
Teacher's note:
I know some of you wonder why I post WFTD just after midnight every night. The reason is simple. I am on the west coast. If I post it when I get up, it would be late morning for many of you, and I do not want any of you to think that I forgot to post it. Also, I know many of you are irked by the fact that you do not always receive a grade and critique, or that the critique is non-existent. Once again, by the time I get up and get around to this thread, it is upwards of 200 posts. My apologies if any of you are annoyed beyond belief.
supposititious\suh-poz-uh-TISH-uhs\, adjective:
1. Fraudulently substituted for something else; not being what is purports to be; not genuine; spurious; counterfeit.
2. Hypothetical; supposed.
Etymology: Supposititious is from Latin suppositicius, from suppositus, past participle of supponere, "to put under, to substitute," from sub-, "under" + ponere, "to put." It is related to suppose.

The odds of Syracuse making it to the Final 4 are just about as good as Saddam leading the Bastille Day Parade in Baghdad on July 14. If Sodamn Insane takes exile in Paris that would be a great job for him. The Cuse on the other hand, have no chance.

KY up 25 with 3+ min. to play.
Pitino is a great coach; I met him once during the '97 tournament.

Paris...Baghdad... I'm sure Sodamn would feel right at home either way. (Although I suspect the Iraqis are far less obnoxious than Parisians).
To: xsmommy

Too Bad, I was looking forward to seeing Seamen evacuate faster than a Fire in a Submarine.

i am so proud of xsteen. she took on about 4-5 kids from her class, just informally debating them on topics from the iraq war, relevance of the UN, abortion etc. she said she kicked butt! you must remember these are the progeny of the Falls Church earth watchers that she goes to school with. The one boy is a foreign national, mom from Brazil, dad from Argentina. She had started on him last night via IM, when he wanted to discuss the iraq war. Most of them are astounded most especially at her stand on the UN being stupid and irrelevant. she also brought up FRANCE being a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkeys, based on current events as well as WW2 which is what they are talking about now. i am very proud of her. Wonder where she gets this??
