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....

Peripatetics,
Walking around,
Hands in their pockets,
Eyes on the ground.

Grumble and mumble,
Hair all a muss,
Bemedaled lapels,
But what's all the fuss?

Johnny and John-boy,
It is such a rush,
To name them as should be:
Both SENATOR FLUSH!!!

Mind you - I don't POME for just anybody (LOL) ;-P

but the condom they bought was too big

I'm relieved to hear others with the problem. Also relieved to hear others with stupidier solutions than even I could come up with.

According to rumors we could be looking at a primary of Gore vs. Kerry vs. Hillary. The battle of 2 has beens and one who never will be.
