p>Word For The Day, Thursday, Sept. 2,2004
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".
AVUNCULAR
1.(-vngky-lr) adj. Of or having to do with an uncle. Regarded as characteristic of an uncle, especially in benevolence or tolerance
duty.
*vun"cu*lar\, a. [L. avunculus uncle.] Of or pertaining to an uncle.
In these rare instances, the law of pedigree, whether direct or avuncular, gives way. --I. Taylor.
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. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Must.....breath......in.......air.....before I choke.
I think they put it in my veins, although, they called it "nuclear medicine." Probably should have called it "peaculear medicine."
Ailing is gone. Just have to learn how to get out of bed slowly and heal the wounds from all the falls. Not an easy thing when the dog is chasing the cat. Of course, it's the cat's fault because he phssssssttttts at the dog.
Sounds like a lousy summer! Don't you have MVP?
did shopping and lunch with xsgirls today as an end of summer thing. we hit the lancome counter. i bought enough stuff so that both xsteen and i could get the free gift, she got the lighter one and i got the darker one. fun day.
Was it the one with the red suede-y cosmetic bag?
no, this is some kind of zebra-y looking cosmetic bag. i gave mine to xsbrownie. i have umpteen million of the diff lancome bags! came with eye shadow, some sort of moisturizer, mascara, sun bronze or lighter juicy tube and some sort of perfume thing.
We haven't had the zebra bag yet, but our Rich's special is coming up in 2 weeks. I threw out a garbage bag full of cosmetic bags a few months ago.
Where the Heinz ketchup is on the house :)
Afternoon-I just got home-
Zell Miller and Dick Cheney slammed
Ketchup boy's image for sure
With an attitude far from avuncular
They all but called him "manure"
Because his so-called "policies"
Are just cowardly, smarmy French crap
And now he's being called on it-
He's caught in his own trap
I think they've got the right of it
And John F'n is an incompetent twit
Who'd go running to the UN for a permission slip
And equip our soldiers with paper and spit
A++ good one T5~!
ew.
I've got to go to Google to find out how many miles are in a knot. I think it's 1.2, but, dang, I can't remember.
Prayers out there for everyone who are in Frances' way. She's one big woman.
Thanks!
Get better.
Petey is such an a$s...hasn't his f'n visa expired yet?
Wasn't President Bush something else tonight? Wow!
Right now watching the weather channel. Praying for the folks in Florida and surrounding states.
He's also a HS dropout as I remind everyone in the room whenever he shows his mug on TV. I swear, the LSM are nothing but a bunch of clinton tapeworms.
And he is still a smarmy pompous a$s.
I'll have to ask an expert. Hey Arghy, does Canada grant GEDs?
