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".
cajole \kuh-JOAL\ verb
1. to persuade with flattery or gentle urging especially in the face of reluctance; coax *
2. to deceive with soothing words or false promises
Example sentence:
Peter's friends cajoled him into coming to the party even though he was not in the mood to go.
Etymology: Did you know?
You might not think to associate "cajole" with "cage," but it's likely that these two words are connected. Researchers have made an association between the prattle of a caged bird and the persistent wheedling of a person attempting to get something out of someone else. "Cajole" comes from a French verb, "cajoler," which now means "coax" but at one time meant "to chatter like a jay." Some etymologists theorize that "cajoler" is from "gaiole," an Old North French word meaning "birdcage" and ancestor to our word "jail." "Gaiole" derives from a Late Latin word, "caveola," which means "little cage" and is the diminutive of the Latin "cavea" ("cage" or "cavity"). Our word "cage" derives from this noun, and "cave" is a close relative.
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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. ;-)

Sorry Argh, but my understanding is that HRHHillary!ous, is the only one in that family that goes "South of the Border" ....ifyaknowwhatimean....
But never mind that for now. Here's more news. I'd given up on popular music by the time these guys came along but it may interest you that Gene Simmons (KISS) has come out in favour of Dubya. I don't know if that's a plus considering the makeup he wears...
My sympathies to you for the slimy one visiting in Canaduh....... he doesn't step foot in Texas..... ;^)
Lucky Texas!
See 273...lol
By the way, are you sure Gene's not making that face at Britney?
:^)
Britney told another interviewer about a year ago that she was not happy about the war in Iraq - can't recall the interview exactly but she caught hell for her comments - She was not supporting the President but obviously has had some "coaching" since then........lol
Hey it was me who encouraged you to get a dog that xshub wouldn't be able to resist. I'll bet he misses xs2pup too. I would never tease anyone for missing their dog. I gave the furbombs baths this morning so they won't miss me so much next week. They're still glaring at me.
Here is a gold-plated ping, just for you my friend. Our classroom has been chaotic lately so don't take it personally. Summer school and mixed-up schedules and new rules for pings are to blame.
I always miss my critters when I'm away - no shame in that - they are, after all, part of the family.
Well I survived the week of soccer camp - and the last load of muddy clothes is in the washing machine....... YIPPEE!!!!
In addition to medals and trophies that were awarded for different things.....two special titles were bestowed: Mud King and Queen. Guess whose dainty little princess was dubbed Mud Queen by the coaches??????
i am HOME, and i have my DOG with me. he was very happy to see us. i love him so much : )
I'm glad you are all home safe and sound and the 4-legged member of the family is home and happy!!!!
Glad you had a safe trip home and are reunited with xspup-I'll bet he isn't going to let you out of his sight for days...
How is the newly crowned mud queen doing?
did you hear that rick james croaked? i was one of the last to see him alive!! ; ) poor thing partied hissef to death.
