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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
seriatim \sir-ee-AY-tim\, adverb, adjective:
1. In a series; one after another.
"Two days from the opening of the impeachment debate, gangs of television crews moved through mostly deserted corridors, doling out their 15 minutes of fame seriatim as individual lawmakers stepped up to batteries of microphones."
--The New York Times, December 16, 1998
Etymology: From Latin series, meaning "row, chain," and is formed on the same model as verbatim ("word for word"), literatim ("letter for letter") and gradatim ("step by step")..
Eeeewwwwwwwwww LOL

strutting over to the wet bar ordering the second martini

The only thing shaking around here is me -- it's bloody cold out this morning.
Oh, doesn't that sound like oh so much fun.............not!
i am pretty stressed, i have a brief due at work that i am going to have to try to get done while at home, bc of this travel schedule of his.
middle?
yeah. its' cold up here too. if it's gonna be cold there ought to at least be some snow to go along with it - kinda makes it bearable.
After preliminary examination of exit polls, someone said that morals were the deciding factor in Bush's win (wrong) and that it must be the Evangelical Christians who suddenly voted enmasse to put him over the top. Now, liberal pundits are taking up this point seriatim and blaming Kerry's loss on Christians. Any day now I expect Michael Moore to demand we all be thrown to the lions.
Morning!
The orgy of grief continues
With a wealth of crocodile tears
As the 'rats stay in denial
That W gets four more years
They invent conspiracy theories seriatim
To explain just what went wrong
And call upon the Hollyweird types
With their noses in a bong
To convince the unwashed masses
That they really aren't insane
And that the object that ran them over
Is only a bicycle-not a train
Wish I caould offer more than just sympathetic noises..........but that's a bit far of a drive for me.
I agree.........there was plenty of frost on the ground this am.
thanks for the noises ; ) did i mention i am also PMSing? : )
My sympathies to you-it is not fun to be in three or more places at once...
thanks, i think i will survive : )
"The terrorists in Fallujah have been moved down seriatim since the American/Iraqi forces started their assault"
Morning all!
