Word For The Day, Wednesday, June 16, 2004
Webster's New Third Internantional Dictionary | Wednesday, June 16, 2004We | Slip 18

Posted on 06/16/2004 5:44:41 AM PDT 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 has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Haven’t checked my mood ring yet. Y’all behave yourselves, ya hear? Principal JimRob is still out of town. I expect the utmost respect on this thread today. The Mods have been overworked lately.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer.

vagary noun:
Pronunciation: Pronounced about three different ways. Take your pick.
Etymology: Probably fr. Latin

1) Archaic: Journey, excursion, tour (Sea Dragon’s adventures?)
2) Archaic: An aimless digression
3) Obsequious: (a) A departure from the regular, lawful or proper course of conduct. (b)Caper, frolic
4) A departure from the normal, expected or logical order of course. (a) A capricious, eccentric or unpredictable action. (b) A change that is hard to predict or explain.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.

If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.

OK - I figured out the problem with the pic not showing.

It is hosted at Yahoo and they do not permit linking of photos from there.

CDF - you are seeing it because it is cached on your computer.

Tsk, you've priced yourself out of the market, I never charge women extra for them to bite me.

No, it's not showing. I tried putting the URL up on the Address line, and it won't show there, either.

Are you missing a ghost?

Beautiful apples!

If I find just one little worm or bug in it, you get a quadruple minus F.

So far first one is perfect!

I would have enjoyed hearing him say what he wanted to say.

If you're under six foot, you're going to need a little step ladder. We found out yesterday that Laurie is six-two. Good for her!

Cyber uses the word "peckish" a lot. He says, "I'm feeling a little peckish. I need some FOOD."

What about Morris's thing. You know, the toe smooching. Will that up your price for xs?

I'm not xs's agent. I'm just looking out for her best interests.
