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. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

We both know what the acronym for FUP is. But we shouldn't hurt that poor good for nothing.
I like the word PEES. You can flush Kerry everytime you need to do that act.
Well, heck, you know me. Just make something up!
I thought I had shamelessly promoted it.
I never saw your blog before, but I'm going in now!
Though I'm not in WA (sigh....so homesick) anymore, I'm so happy for them!
What lid? The best way to express PEES is on the head of a liberal.
Nice blog, W. I formally ask to not be put on the WISH list.
It's a little difficult when you're a woman, you twit!
You just need to get your liberal to lay down and not move.
Speaking of liberals, MurrayMom has been spotted.
Good Heavens, no!
Many in the failed Kerry campaign probably wish that the solipsistic Terayzuh had had a sew-lipsism...

Best usage of the day! I love it! A++++!

What word?
Mornin', everybody ! Happy Thursday!
