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.

PRESAL

Noun:

PRONOUNCED: Pry/zel

Etymology: Can’t read it.


1) (obs) A seizure (as of goods) under legal or customary privileges.

I got Flint to get Cris to leave Brian a voice message. I wrote the script. "Mr. X this is Lannette with Dr Lewis' office and I callin about the past due invoice for your prostate exam. We really need you to pay the invoice right away. The Dr is being held on $10,000.00 bond and needs the money. Could you please call me back as soon as possible?"

Back in my former life, when I worked (that was a gimme for Argh since he thinks I do nothing now) - I swear I was the worst judge of character...... every person I hired either quit or stole from the company............

I am so happy for the Pope. I really dislike these "watches" that are on television right now.

A++++ for you, Arghie. And you deserve it this time.
