Cheney Envy
Some men walk,And some men sashay.
I think it's because,
God made them that way.
But there's no need to be envious,
Just 'cause those boys are pendulous.

Did you know?
The French verb "chasse" ("to make a sliding dance step") danced into English unaltered in the early 19th century, but as the word gained popularity in America people often had difficulty pronouncing and transcribing its French rhythms. By 1836, "sashay" had begun to appear in print in American sources. Authors such as Mark Twain, Zora Neale Hurston, and John Updike have all since put their names on the word's dance card and have enjoyed the liveliness and attitude "sashay" adds to descriptions of movement. They and many, many others have helped "sashay" slide away from its French dance origins to strut its stuff in descriptions of various walks and moves.
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. ;-)

AMEN to that.....not that it does me much good at the moment - the amount of standing water I have in my fields is unreal. Who knows when it will disappear, especially considering the forecast calls for MORE rain tomorrow.

I haven't either. Sashay made me think of it for some reason.
It's a tad bit tiny, that's for sure.
Judging from the size of her gams, I'd say fried taters is her sashay of choice.
It has the "sound" of pig Latin.
I've never heard of that lovely little ditty, but it sure as heck has our WFTD in it. LOL!
