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....

Are you talking about the spouse swap club we joined last night? Your sure had a big smile this morning. Or that I turned the utility room into a functional space effiecient pantry?
Both are pretty big in their own special way. ;)
What was Mandingo's real name?

Weird.
One of my buddies has a friend that he always messes with on April Fools. These two are always trying to outdo each other. So a few years ago, his friend had gotten a speeding ticket and had just taken defensive driving the previous weekend to get the ticket dismissed. So my friend has a co-worker -- who was a very devious and skilled actress herself -- call his buddy pretending to be from the Departement of Public Safety to tell him that the trooper who taught the defensive driving course had gotten really pissed off about something and had shredded all the attendance records of the defensive driving courses for the past few months. Since they had no way of verifying who had completed the courses they were calling everyone who had been scheduled to take the courses to inform them that they would have to reschedule and take the course again to get their traffic tickets dismissed. She was very convincing and apologetic and the poor guy was really getting perturbed. She went on for several minutes and he was getting angrier and angrier. Finally, she said "I'm sorry sir, but there is just one more thing -- April Fools," and hung up.
Get the IRS "cheat-sheet" from their web site.
Fill it in, with as much of his real data as you can find. Don't mail it to the IRS, but mail him a copy of the filled-in form.
Then let him worry about what happens when the IRS gets their copy.
Well, other than that you're expecting, what else is news in the CG/LE house?
Are you pregnant?
Are y'all trying to tell me this outfit makes me look fat???
RIP JP II
He's home now.
What outfit?
(I mean, rather, did you finally put one on today?)
Heck no!
That outfit makes you look naked. I like it.
;)
Sir, sir.
Speaking objectly, you puncuated the subject in question incorrectly.
More properly, it would be, "Naked, that outfit makes you look. I like it."
