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.

Not difficult.
Extemporaneous (Robt. would call thenm "extemporanallouse") pomes. You can tell they are extemp etc. because they suck.
No, no, no.
"I" would never comment or (insuendyouate even!) that a extemporanallouse poem would ever "suck."
Comtemporanalous problems most cause problems by "blowing" not sucking!
However, comtemporanalouse problems DO cause problems by "sucking", but these can be treated with any number of modern medicines.
(But, since xsexmommy says she has "hair problems" of going "owe natural" .... I'd suspect that the sucking, not blowing, is the source of her problems underneath.
Now, thedentist isn't that much into opening up such an issue of comtemporanalous problems (since he deals with bad breathe, not bad breathing) but ole CJ might be able to help you.
(Gabz, however, is just going to get mad at me, so don't tell I said this.)
You are just plain old ordinary every day WEIRD............
Very illuminating, Robt.! I haven't heard so much aboot sucking and blowing since a flute player explained how he made music. By the way, I see no reason the Whyisa shouldn't have been pinged to your masterpiece. So to speak.
The Solipsism of the insurgents here in Iraq never cease to amaze me. They will mortar women and children to achieve their goals.
How was that? did I do it right?
Tell me which is the library and which is the home.
Sheesh. That took me a total of about one second to figure that math question out. But I did it a different way. I subtracted, then added instead of multiplying and adding one.
No. I'm old and decrepid. I learned the old math. LOL!
This article should be named "Slopism."
You get an A++++, Explorer!
W, that was great!!!
Well, we're the same age. It was a very good year!
I think he's got a chick hidden somewhere near the beer. I have it on good authority.
I want the mushy stuff, Arghie! Smooches!
If you tell Cyber aboot this, I'll tell him it must have been some other guy named Argh.
