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

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....

Not working. ;) I am immune to earworms from that no-talent idiot. I have Black Crowes tunes stuck in my head today. It's hard to beat a bluesy guitar riff. Tell her, Tiger.
i would like to propose a WFTD danceathon tomorrow. i think WHyisa would be game. i am not sure about SG, she might not go for it... ; )

A+++ sure is and should have something shoved in her mouth, like a sock.

Are you kidding? I dance all over my house! And car dancing is my specialty.

i just told Hobbes that anyone that glanced over at me on my way home surely had to LTAO bc i was dancing and singing at the top of my lungs!
Rock on witcher bad seff!
xsteen's unerring sense... from KC and the Sunshine Band GET DOWN ON IT to London Calling by the Clash. i was jamming... ; )
my SIL made HOMEMADE chex mix complete with mixed nuts, bagel chips, pretzels and m&ms. my kids prefer the storebought kind! can you imagine???
I should get along just fine with my new friend. :)
A danceathon sounds like fun. Does anyone have a disco ball?
Probably for the same reason kids prefer crispy cafeteria style mac'n'cheese to homemade.
that is TOO dang weird.
