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.

True. Moran may be a drunken Antisemite with rage issues but atleast he's not a Chester the Molestor.
Hey, that would make a good slogan. Maybe I could work on his campaign.
excellent! he could use you!
I never take my rings off.
It better pay well.

Brilliant post and picture of slick solipsistic willy.
I'm watching the celebration right now. Glad LulaBelle is sleeping. Her tummy couldn't take it.

Neither could mine. Tell Lulabelle her Uncle Arghie hopes she gets better soon.
She wagged her tail.
Good girl!
