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.

"Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Haven’t checked my mood ring yet."
Hmm.. Hildy from trading Spaces has a mood ring, and is somewhat insane like most of we denizens of the "Weird threads"...
*Tip-toeing backwards slowly*
I'll behave, I promise.
(This is all punishment for my jokes back in the Dimensional Doors thread aways back about chaining IRS agents/agentettes in the basement and having a torture rack, isn't it?)

Miss Rika is on vacation. Xs will be on vacation next week. VRWCmember is underwater with work.

Secret Garden did it yesterday. Dubyaismypresident subbed for three or four days last week.

None of us want this thread down for a day.

Hobbes1 and Gabz would do it if I asked them, but I'm okay. Right now I'm a gimp with a bad leg, so I have the time.

But on Friday at lunch I'm cutting out early. JimRob, Sheila and Chris will be in town. We're all going out to lunch. Yippieeee!

Heck, Darksheare, we blew up JimRob's house the second year of WFTD. Cyber and (help me here xs) blew it up. In fact, we blew up the whole camp.

Anniegetyourgun (Miss Annie) was exhausted from the camp. We drove her bananas.

Then during our first year at WFTD, none of us really knew anything about HTML except Cyber and Lazamataz. That's when you couldn't go over 200 posts or it took ten hours to load. Both of them came in here with hoses to clean out the classrooms. We had the HTML so messed up, it was impossible to fix without the experts coming in.

I now have the "code" to fix just about anything, but the new programs don't need them. I have it saved just in case.

No. I'll post the WFTD, then escape around 10:30. The class will be put on notice I'll be with Principal Robinson himself.

Oh yikes, I remember those days.
I signed up in October 2000, and got to see half of whole threads on 'marquee'.
*chuckle*
And people typing "/ bold off!"
Yikes!
Then the new software came up, and rined my html skills.

Send a few buckets of rain here, Gabz. I know it's a bummer having it all, but think of all the wild flowers later on in the season.

Just trying to be optimistic. Probably doesn't help a bit.

I still use HTML. I don't want to lose it after it took me a year to learn.

I remember I learned DOS. Six months later it was gone. But I still do use DOS sometimes for different things.
