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....
osculate \ohs*cue*late\, verb:
osculated, osculates, osculating; transitive, intransitive verb
osculation; noun
deosculate, deosculation; (fondly)
exosculate, exosculation; (vigorously)
1. To kiss..
2. Mathematics: To have three or more points coincident with.
3. To come together; contact.
A Plain Old Kiss
Some people need a peck or two;
For others a simple smooch will do;
Too many, a graze will stimulate;
A few may want to osculate.
And then, there are those who need a smack,
For flowery words they have a knack.
But all I want from you is bliss,
Which you can give me with a plain, old kiss!
- Arr. Ara John Movsesian Etymology [Latin scul r , scul t-, from sculum, kiss, diminutive of s, mouth. See s- in Indo-European Roots.]

Sounds like an apartment complex I lived in when I was in college-a complete madhouse. Are you still thinking about moving?

Tossing lit cigarettes out of windows (or anywhere for that matter) is an action deserving of much stronger term than jackass......I just can't think of one that won't get me banned from here!!!!
You've really got some doozies in your building, don't you??

Control freaks like these don't care if they hurt business-I hope they do move the NY conventions to boats, and I'm sure these same control freaks won't care when some bars and restaurants move someplace else, right? Hubby has a relative who is a control freak, and she is so disliked that she hasn't been invited to a relative's house in years. The family just completely ignores her. Too bad that doesn't happen to the smoke nazis....
