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.]

LOL!!!!!!!!!

I know the tamales are for Christmas, but my SIL loves them andthey do freeze well......and since her birthday does fall directly on Thanksgiving this year......and it has a zero in it.....and she likes my tamales........

Well, I'm sure you understand!!!!

I actually learned how to make tamales because my husband talked so much about remembering them always being around for Christmas when he lived in Houston!!!

I'm from Mass., been around FR four years and never caught this thread till yesterday.
Don't tell anybody but it looks like a secret organization to me .

Last week I had a toenail taken off and needing my feet up, have been playing with my new graphics program. I'm a retired award winning ad/media executive who's always dabbled in art and photography.
