Word For The Day, Day, Date



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".

peripatetic

\Per`i*pa*tet"ic\, a.

1. Walking about; itinerant.

2. Of or pertaining to the philosophy taught by Aristotle (who gave his instructions while walking in the Lyceum at Athens), or to his followers. ``The true peripatetic school.'' --Howell.

adj : traveling especially on foot; "peripatetic country preachers"; "a poor wayfaring stranger" [syn: wayfaring] n 1: a person who walks from place to place 2: a follower of Aristotle or an adherent of Aristotelianism [syn: Aristotelian, Aristotelean, Peripatetic]

Etymology: [Middle English peripatetik, from Latin peripatticus, from Greek peripattikos, from peripatein, to walk about, or from peripatos, covered walk (where Aristotle allegedly lectured) : peri-, peri- + patein, to walk; see pent- in Indo-European Roots.]

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....

Morning! I'm about to rush out the door to do an estimate-

Since the 'rats lost big a week ago
They are on a whining binge
Trotting out all the usual suspects
And their peripatetic lunatic fringe

They really still don't understand-
Public opinion has turned about-
Found that party lacking in morals
And voted a lot of them out

They'd rather blame witches and magic
For dealing them a loosing hand-
And rather than face the bitter truth
They continue to live in Lala Land

Back later...

Grimmy, I'm right there with you. I'm also thinking that maybe it's best that Hillary run in '08. Looking at the map, I think whoever she faces would win big. The nation no longer wants a NorthEastern know-it-all liberal in it's top spot.

Me mum's peripatetic lesbian neighbor had a meeting yesterday to ready their group to action when they begin to litigate the gay marriage issue through the courts rather than bothering to pursuade the citizens who voted against their "Kitchen table Issue" on Nov. 2, 2004.

They have said in the news over the weekend that the gay right folks are getting ready to trash and burn in the courts. Oh, lets all lash out shall we........

Happy Tuesday :)

Even though they worked their hardest, the peripatetic Democratic missionaries were unable to match the conservative GOTV effort.

extra credit

The donkey and his

peripatetic campaign

walks off of a cliff.

A peripatetic U.S. Marine, spewing death, and destruction in Fallujah, and loving it...

""Yeah," he yelled. "Battle Damage Assessment - nothing. Building's gone. I got my kills, I'm coming down. I just love my job."

You on some kinda sabbatical, or somthin'?
These subs you've left us with are highly questionable, although often entertaining.
1 or 2 of 'em may have violated their moral turpitude clauses, as well.
:-p
