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.
Noun:
PRONOUNCED: Pry/zel
Etymology: Can’t read it.
1) (obs) A seizure (as of goods) under legal or customary privileges.
2) (obs) (a) The action of taking something as the prize of war. (b) Something taken as a prize.
RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.
If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.
Good morning, everyone. Open thine little eyeballs.
First?
my word for the day is, 'Check your calendar' :)
After using the courts to steal the 2008 election, Hillary initiated a presal on the middle class reminiscent of a barbarian sacking..
You are first, Mortman! You get the blue ribbon for the day!
You came in second! Congratulations.
Pre-sale prices, delicious presal,
Credit card puchase - no fear of reprisal,
Although there's no need,
She'll buy at least two or three,
Just for the honking big elephant-white sale!
A++++ for you!
it's fairly early.
But you get the A++++!
Well, yes. 5:55 my time. Get that cup o' Joe down yer throat, and you'll be fine.
If it weren't for the "genetic differences" thing, I know a LOT of women who'd be broke - and a LOT MORE men who'd be VERY lonely! ;-P
Morning!
The 'rats continue to ignore
What the war on terror is about
Instead of thinking logically
They wave their arms and shout
That it is all just about oil
About building an empire like Rome-
We ought to let terrorists run amok
And bring our troops back home
The thing they keep ignoring
Is a graceful little note-
The main presals of this war is
The freedom to cast a vote
I opened mine and they were filled with a mucous-like fluid, had a salty/sour smell, and just didn't taste ripe at all! I'll have to order more from the lab.
In this day and age, city administrations, sailing across the sea of properties that bring their cities tax revenues, see the lands owned by the old and poor as ships with tattered sails, presals to be taken, so that new buildings may arise and enrich the city coffers. This they call emminent domain.
Hehehehehehe! So true!
