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.
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.
Adj
Pronunciation: Sin/i/ster.
adjective: (heraldry) on or starting from the wearer's left
Example: "Bar sinister"
adjective: stemming from evil characteristics or forces; wicked or dishonorable
Example: "The scheme of some sinister intelligence bent on punishing him-Thomas Hardy"
adjective: threatening or foreshadowing evil or tragic developments
Example: "Sinister storm clouds"
As there is no-one more to the sinister side[left], than the sinister [wicked] and sinister [dishonorable] Hillary, the Kennedy family spying on the Clintoons could mark a sinister [tragic development] to the sinister [threatened] presidential aspirations of the sinister [most evil] Hillary!
Then, the villain in black pulled out a vaguely threatening and sinister looking.... coathanger? [Raiders of the Lost Ark, bar scene reference]
It tracks together: "cafeteria catholic" is one who picks and chooses which ruiles they are going to follow, and which they are going to ignore.
"Ewwwwwwwwe!" Robt replies in awe to the Good Shepherd's anti-sinister (right wing conspiracy member) herd of counter-revolutionary jargon.
oh definitely. that is what the CAFETERIA IS CLOSED sign was all about. catholics in name only are the same as cafeteria catholics, who pick and choose the doctrines which they intend to honor. the Chris Matthews et al who call themselves catholics but reject 75% of what the Catholic church stands for.
Really, you do? I thought I had all the sinisters. I also have five brothersters. Same parents.

A++++ for you Jack. Happy Friday!
I can only do a send-up of an old barbershop song for this:
"How can there be
any sinister in sincere?
Aren't we sincerely
in love?"
Bupkis. I got nothing.

A++++ for you, W!
