Word For The Day, Thursday, November 18, 2004

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.

New WFTD:

Solipsism– noun

This word is pronounced “soe lip sizan”

Etymology: Latin: Solus=alone;+ispe=self;+ism

After a great deal of deep thought (i.e., it just occurred to me), I think we should set up a swingers club here at Free Republic.

We'll call it "Swingers for Pingers".

All right, I'm leaving already...

The Bushes look great. Bill looks a little aged and shellshocked and seems to be doing a Jimmy Carter impression. Carter looks like a buffon, what else is new.

Starting a Swingers Club, eh?

(Xsex says she's got a couple of places ready to hang her belles, ring in the new year, dangle da baubles, and chime her knockers.)

As the Japanese guy said in that move, "Buffon. Buffoff."

(Don't worry about polishing him up or wiping his knob.)

Xsex sounds pretty revved up for this considering she's sposed to be a "nice Catholic girl". By the way, would that expression be oxymoronic?

I haven't watched TV news regularly in decades, only for some important occurrences. It'll be weird.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!! I know you are happy. Now Miss Florida will have to take a backseat to the statuesque, lippy Laurie Dhue. Or maybe just to irritate xs, you will fall for Juliet Huddy.
