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.
Perry Pathethic.

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