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.
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
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!
Good morning!
The seminal evidence, preserved for posterity on a blue dress, is Bill Clintons true legacy..
You're No. 1 for posting, and you get an A++++ for your post. Good 'un, cardinal!
If you pour urine in a urinal, do you pour semen in a seminal?
You're No. 2, and you get an A++++.
You and cardinal4 are on top of things today.

After all this time, I would not have thought the Seminal Endians of Florida would still be a problem. Too bad the Army is busy elsewhere.
Nuthouse is putting it mildly!!!!
And don't forget, nuts are the seeds of many plants.....so

xs, I couldn't for the life of me do a Friday word last Friday, so I thought, what the heck.
Good morning, Gabz! Sun shining, I hope?
and it is a safe bet that the author of that piece cannot for the life of her understand what drives Marie Schindler.
Otherwise, living in AZ, I understand the problem.

I got about 2/3s through the article and then just gave up.............weird, very weird.
