Word For The Day, Thursday, March 31, 2005

March 31, 2005, Thursday

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.

SEMINAL

Adjective
Pronunciation: Semin/al
Etymology: I don’t know. I can’t read the danged thing.


1) Of, derived from, containing or consisting of seed or semen ( ~ vessel )
2) Having the characteristics of originative power, principle or source: containing or contributing seeds of later development: germinate


I actually heard this word on the news (of course FNN) the other night. It had nothing to do with fluid, you Croqs.

Yucky nasty rainy stormy morning,
Creeks high,
Rain won't stop,
People drive like idiots.

I had to walk away for a few minutes, Young Werther. The Principal called me in for the WFTD. We're okay, though. It's an acceptable word.

I've already given you an A++++, but if you haven't seen it, there you are.

HD, my FIL told me not to wear red because up above where they are watching you play, apparently the watchers can see through red because of the ultraviolet rays.

I love him.

Actually, I use the olde blonde trick, play dumb and wipe 'em all out.

I only drink water when I play. Weird, huh?

I'm sure I'll get Scotched up after the tourney, though. LOL!

I think I've graded Young Werther twice now.

I better get an apple from the youngster.

That's a great jingle, LE. You know Barry Manilow got his start with jingles. Oh, I'm sorry.

That's right. Nothing see through. That would be un-sporting...

How about something like this?

I love the old Barry Manilow jungles.

I have a live album (yes, vinyl) of his with a medley of a bunch of his jingles.

I sip straight bourbon when playing cards. I limit myself to about 8 ounces over the course of play. Then I do shooters.

My ex and I went to marriage counseling 3 separate times after reconciliations. The last time he came over wanting to reconcile, he wanted me to sign my truck over to him to borrow money on to give to his mistress. I refused, he tried to beat me into submission, I got away and ordered him out of the house with a loaded revolver in my hand. The time before that we had met at a restaurant to discuss terms and he taunted me with his mistress-I dumped his nearly full plate of food in his lap, threatened to key scratch his precious car and left.

Barry Manilow

I have a friend who worked as a roadie for one of his tours...they called him "Barely Man Enough."

Barry Manilow is a singer whom some people hate and some people love. He's just that way.

He made gazillions on his jingles, though. Who'da thunk?
