Word For The Day, Thursday, November 18, 2004
Thursday, November 18, 2004 | slip 18

Posted on 11/18/2004 4:59:19 AM PST by Slip18

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


1) Any of various extreme versions of subjective idealism: as A (1) an epistemological theory that the self can know nothing but his own modifications and states (2) Solipsism of the present moment : an epistemological theory that the self knows to the exclusion of future and past states. B (1) A metaphysical theory that all real entities are modifications and states of the self: EGOISM
2) The adoption of an epistemological solipsism as a presence for a general metaphysical or an epistemological theory or as a scientific hypotheses.
3) Extreme indulgence of and concern with the self at the expense of social relationships especially as expressed in a failure of artistic communication.

Solipsist = noun

so was it diarrhea or lost appetite or both? i don't think lucius has ever NOT eaten, esp something like chicken. he might not keep it in for long, but he would eat. it would be scary if they don't want to eat : (

Yesterday she threw up & and had diarrhea. She had not eaten since Tuesday afternoon. Also, she wasn't drinking water until I gave her a bowl of crushed ice this morning. Today, she has just had diarrhea. She's been a sick litte pup...really!

Wow, it appears Nancy Pelosi's blaming of Catholics for jean querrie's loss may be a new low in solipsism in which her own catholic views are much more important than those of mere Bishops. Well, I dare say Ms. P'losi is a heretical idiot and a screeching shrew. Furthermore, her opinion that for a religious authority in the church to speak out against the heresy of politicians who claim to be practicing catholics while violating the deepest teachings of the church is "just wrong" because it "blurs the line between church and state" indicates that she lacks even a basic understanding of the intent of the first amendment. It floors me that she can be so dense about a concept that really is so simple. Her statement is really a slap in the face both to devout catholics and to the clergy. I think the only thing she is going to accomplish with this type of figurative swat of the palm is piss off a lot of her constituency.

I would hate to spoil Miss Slippy with excessive praise, but it is a widely known that Miss Slip is most lovely among the coquettes of Free Republic. Cyber is such a lucky guy. All the other croqs are jealous of him. They even sing bar songs to her that start with phrases like "O, Miss Slip, we love you so...."

He is a COMPLETE LOAD!!! Such a pathetic has been!! Were you able to watch??? If I didn't already love GWB so much, I would now. He just has such class!!!!! And Laura is so graceful & lovely! A coworker yesterday found out he & his wife are expecting a bambina. I'm campaigning hard to have her named Laura. He likes the name, and is an (R), so it might work. :)

Only because he is. You would have really enjoyed the Beast introducing Bubba...She turned her umbrella over to a holder, and he fumbled it...smacked her on the head very briefly, but enough to make my day. The look on her face was priceless. He is probably dead somewhere in a swamp now.

Cat poop is very high in protein, since their food has more protein than dog food and they don't digest all of it. That's the attraction. That and the resemblance to snausages...

He is obviously competing with FPL for the title of world's biggest FPL. And he has spent only 1/10 of his life in Tennessee. He is a Virginia boy. A well fed, ill bred, Virginia boy. Maybe he's trying to make Tipper look smaller.

Ohhhhhhhh, how nice! A and ten +s for you, Vastie!

I'm doing tomorrow's WFTD tonight. I did have two Scotches, so if I misspell a word, will someone extricate me from my discretion?

I don't think this word has been used before, but it is a common word.

Off I go into the wild world of HTML! LOL!

The only thing Dick Morris is good at doing is sucking on toes, although that is NOT my thing.

I've never discussed this before because it is absolutely disgusting. My Docker eats cat doodoo. He's never been around a cat before. The doodoo makes his skin itch, so he's constantly itching. We have one of those automatic cat depoopers, so I can get away with three or four days of not cleaning it, but on the fifth day that filthy mouthed dog will get into it.

When I lived in Walnut, CA, I lived on a horse acreage. No horses for me. Way too much work. But my neighbor had two horses. Over the fence she would throw my dogs (the Great Dane) and Docker horse poop. Now, that was a treat. Then every six weeks she would have the horses' hooves clipped, and those got thrown over the fence, too. My dogs loved her.

SG, still looking for my new puppies. There doesn't seem to be a lot around here. Might have to go to San Fran or NY or something. LOL!
