Word For The Day, Day, Date
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".
of·fi·cious adj. of·ficious·ly adv. of·ficious·ness n.
adj : intrusive in a meddling or offensive manner; "an interfering old woman"; "bustling about self-importantly making an officious nuisance of himself"; "busy about other people's business" [syn: interfering, meddlesome, meddling, busy, busybodied] Marked by excessive eagerness in offering unwanted services or advice to others: an officious host; officious attention. Informal; unofficial. Archaic. Eager to render services or help others
Etymology: [Latin officisus, obliging, dutiful, from officium, duty. See office.]
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
The death and destruction in the region is horrific. But that idea of not giving a warning really bugs me.
I mean think about it.........the coast was going to be history anyway.........a warning would have saved countless lives. Lives that would have been spared for help rebuild the torism industry. Now instead they have thousands of dead tourists and countless more who might have been potential tourists, but will not becaome for fear that something like this could happen again and the government would not issue a warning.
After getting pulled over, I said "But officous, I'm not as think as you drunk I am"
Boiled ones look better and are more the colour of ham when you get through the delicious gelatinous covering.
Well, I can't easily find any pictures of boiled ones, and anyway now I'm all hungry.
You're welcome.
cute. : )
Ain't I though :)
buncha pix of TRIPOD, but thanks for thinking of me, it's the thought that counts... ; )
most def : )
so i take it that you aren't going to Herkimer this week. you know what would tickle the hell out of me?you trek up to upstate NY and FC gets a crapload of snow and you aren't here to plow it. Oh and make sure you take your brother up with you when you go....
LOL. Might go in the morning.
leave the plow home, so you can send the little woman out to do the job ; )
very cute!
Actually, if I go, I will take the little truck.
the kid with the learners permit is not roadworthy enough to plow, so don't try to deputize him.
Never happen. Cowher's Stillres are always the bridesmaids never the brides.
i will bet you $5
You are on. You can pay me at CPAC.
i was in college in PGH when they won the Superbowl, they weren't any bridsmaids back then.
