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.

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.
Vagary. It's a unique word. It can be pronounced three different ways. So you can do what you will to it.
You got the first A today, tD!
Where the heck are the Coquettes? Thank goodness I brought oodles of handcuffs.
morning subby!
Have the sheep been taking care of your sore ribs?
ask cj to post his pornographic sheep cartoon : )
Thank goodness you're here. Thought I was going to be surrounded by the Croqs today. Not a bad thought, but I thought I might have to get the whip out today.
I could not get PoorMuttley in here nor Styra. Must be misspelling their names.
Not! The mods have short fuses these days.
Just how naughty is the cartoon?
i think there is no E in Muttly, and there is an I in styria.
pretty dang naughty.
It's naughty enough to get me banned or at least sent to the penalty box.
D'oh
And the Mods still have about a week left. Poor things.
Run any more neighbors off?
Do you think that pooch needs braces?
Nope. Still got the same ones.
I always forgot the "u" in Harbour for OPH.
YIKES!!!!! I'm late!!!!!!!!!!!!!
