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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

conniption \con*nip*shun\, noun:

1. A fit of violent emotion, such as anger or panic. Also called conniption fit.

One can but hope that the trend in California sweeps the nation and we see a decisive victory in the 2004 elections. With that, it is a fervent desire that we see the DNC rolling in a conniption fit the likes of which we have never seen before. Besides being somewhat triumphant, it would be purely amusing. --RikaStrom – WFTD Teacher.

It's good you have a warm heart unlike some pant's wearing cross dressers on this site.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Have you learned to bug your eyes out yet?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I understand about you taking cues from your Dad...... my Father was very sweet and called us "Sugar" or "Tiger" (hush hobbes)..... but the skills I learned from him were to play pool and to call his bookie to place bets for him.........lol.....not exactly girly stuff......lol

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Sounds like borderline abuse........lol

[hobbes1]

Right. RMFE.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Then here is a pome for you.

Pet Peeve

I have myself a pet peeve,
A so-called bone to pick.
Why is the left so hosed up,
What made these people sick?
The haters of America,
Who made their fortunes here.
They’re in your face like you are scum,
Their end is drawing near.
We’re talking Barbara Streisand,
And Fatso Michael Moore.
Al Franken and the Dixie Chicks,
Let’s show em to the door.
Let’s tell them all to take a hike,
And drive them from our land.
We’ve had enough of liberal crap,
The Clintons lead the band.
So pack your bags and hit the road,
Farewell you scumbag libs.
And don’t come back to our dear home,
We’ll kick you in the ribs.

I bet you are like a flag pole on a freezing day. The dog's tongue probably sticks to you.

[xsmommy]

i don't recall my father using any endearments at all, in fact his endearment for my mother was to call her "Babe", which sounds hilarious to me now. but i think they were pretty hot back in the day.

[Conspiracy Guy]

It was always there. I just helped you see it.
