WORD FOR THE DAY
March 25, 2004, Thursday | Slip 18

Posted on 03/25/2004 6:00:01 AM PST by Slip18

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....


Subbie Slip had better not see anyone pushing Conspiracy Guy or Laura Earl. They need to be at their most beautifulness before the wedding! Principal JimRob told me he was going to be watching this thread today, so y’all behave, ya hear?

mendacity noun:
Pronunciation: Just as it is spelled.

Etymology: I don’t know. Who do you think I am, Miss Rika?

1) The practice of an instance of lying; falsehood.



TOPICS: Weird Stuff; Word For The Day

He's got a photo of me and my sis when I was seven years old. We were in bikinis and bras.

Homework?

Mendacities

Years ago they talked about,
Something called megacities.
Now we know that liberals,
Inhabit Mendacities.

They lie about in windrows,
Blown by some ill wind.
There never is a truthful word,
Either spoken out or penned.

I’m glad that I don’t live there,
I don’t think I’d fit in.
In fact I doubt there’s even room,
For a cuddly Viking Kitten.

IIRC, he's yelling 'bout 'mendacity' here. If not, he will soon, or perhaps just has. Regardless, croquettes won't complain...

Ahhhhh, Paul Newman in his youth. What a hunk! For that photo and the use of the WFTD, I honor you with an A+, HD.

The democratic credo: Mendacity
Coupled with chutzpah (audacity)
Watch them flip-flop and spin
"Take this out! Put this in!"
(Clinton's lies, not his urge for rapacity)

I'm so sorry.

Cyber has always said, "It is better to be sick at the office than at home." I don't know what that means.

That is from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, isn't it? I loved their version of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow in that movie(and Big Daddy is one too!).

"Perhaps we should listen in the United States."

Oh, my gosh, Spain is saying that about the little old U.S. of A?

A+ for you, isatoi.

Welcome to class! If you would like, you can go to the back of the room and play with the fingerpaints. I see the Tiger (Hobbes) is already back there.

I am off to spend the day with 2nd graders, who have not practiced the art of mendacity and are still a joy.

How did I miss your sentence, Cyborg? I must have been in cyberspace somewhere.

You get an A for your usage of the WFTD.

Thank you, xs, for letting me see the errors of my ways.
