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: threatening or foreshadowing evil or tragic developments

The word "jazz" originally meant "sexual intercourse". The expression "rock 'n' roll" originally meant "sexual intercourse". (Anyone who thinks rock isn't about sex is lying and/or ignorant and/or stoopid and/or ugly and/or fat and/or stoopid and I seem to be in imminent danger of getting off topic, as usual). Yet blues seems to be a lot of bitching and moaning about no sexual intercourse. There's probably a lesson here, but I have to go to the bathroom.
Good for them!!
ummmmm....arghie....sometimes an unexpressed thought is best...for example..."I have to go to the bathroom". More info than we require...
How about the 'rhythm' in R&B? What's go on when people are hip-hopping? How come chicks sing 'hymns?' - hey - I wonder if that last one cheezes of XS too....
hehe!Thanks.
I DID spare you, Miss Laura! I could have said, "I have to take a leak", but did I do so? No siree, Bob, not I...
no, but you are Ping me O something fierce : )
just curious where the "No hoo-hahs allowed" line was drawn....
how tough is it? picture a Roman Catholic church in 1960. what was going on there then, is what i want going on there now. period. same rules, same language. in a word, TRADITION.
GOOD! He can replace the 4 or 5 troublemakers who are currently members of SCOTUS.
By the way, I'd say they've gone nuts in Turin. It was a nice town, but not anymore, I guess.
Yes indeed-I need for the deer to keep eating the tastless soy products the humans buy on impulse and whose pets won't even eat them-that way they don't go to waste...
loosh would give his left testicle to be taken for a walk three times per day. wait..... forget it...
no thanks. 1960 will do it for me.
Is that any relation to the new factory Kraft Foods is opening in Israel? The one they're going to call "Cheeses of Nazareth"?
HAH!!! Poor little tyke is right out of luck.
you 20th century-centric you. You better wear the mini's and go-go boots then
Actually that was better. Going to the bathroom conjures up pix of someone sauntering to the mens room with newspaper folded under an arm.
