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. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

It prompted the matron to say that she would walk a little way--as far as to the point where the acclivity from the valley began its first steep ascent to the outer world.
--Thomas Hardy, Tess of the d'Urbervilles - A Pure Woman

The news report on the station I listen to for Rush, just labeled Zell as a flip flopper for speaking at the RNC! I never would have suspected CBS news as being so anti-GWB!
(The Libs are becoming laughable at their attempts to deflect the negativite aspects of their candidate!)

So, she said it herself! Whyisa likes "Keeping Up Appearances" in public ...
Now, the question is ...
Who the heck is "Appearances", and WHY is Whyisa keeping him up in publick????
...
Then again, I guess we all know "why" she is keeping him up in publick, but that raises the quesion of "How" is she keeping up in publick.....
