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. ;-)

Is xspup2 tired when he gets home from being boarded? Lu is exhausted!!
yes, i think it takes something out of them emotionally that translates to fatigue. did ya have a good bday? be sure to see yesterdays classroom for all of your accolades, cakes and gifts!
I think it is safe to say that Arafat will not be peripatetic any time soon but he is still not dead.
The rumor is that he has aids.
I do not believe doctors do not know what is wrong with Arafat. He is dying of something, it must be pretty bad to not be able to tell us the truth.
no doubt he has AIDS and the frenchies will never say so. A+ He remains NOT dead and according to Suha, they are attempting to bury him alive!
Had a great bday-thx!!!
59.5 million votes. Bwahahahahahaha
that gloatfest thing you sent me was great by the way!! i wish there was some way to lift the sound clip of the laughing and post it here!
A+ i will give you another plus if you tell me what PIAPS stands for....
