Word For The Day, Wednesday, November 26, 2003
The Verbivores | 11/26/03 | Teacher

Posted on 11/26/2003 5:11:30 AM PST by RikaStrom

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.]

With some help from XSMOMMY, LAURA EARL, and Steve Goodman I wrote this little Redneck Birthday tribute fer yunz.

Friday, Tiger’s forty,
Whyisa will not tell.
Secret keeps her secret,
Someone ring the bell.
Class will start on time I hope,
For these few days are big,
Happy Birthday all of yall,
Secret, Why, and Tig.
I would end now but I must add,
XS has a request.
Quit acting like a bunch of Ho s,
There, I’ve said the rest.

Narrative:

I wrote this pome for some friends of mine and I felt I had written the perfect redneck birthday pome. My friends told me it wasn’t the perfect redneck pome because I didn’t say anything about, momma, drinking, trucks, trains, or rain.

So I sat back down and wrote another verse and here’s how it goes.

Hobbes was drunk, the day Whyisa,
Got out of prison.
And he went, to pick her up,
In the rain.
But before he could get to the station,
In his momma’s truck.
She and Secret done robbed the train.

And then, there are those who need a smack
Now that line of poetry deserves to go in someone's tagline. Mine. ;)
