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.

What can I say? A++++ for you, Ti!
I'll share that with the class, if you don't mind, Loney. 'Tis a sight to cherish.

Liberal values? bereft
At changing the subject, they're deft
With the crap they administer
It figures that "sinister"
Comes from the root word for "left"
A++++ for you, CG!
Your subbie may go back to bed for a little while. Eyes are being held open with toothpicks again. LOL!
It is really stormy here this morning. I may be out most of the day if the promised hail hits. We took the cover off the pool last night to get ready for the season so, of course, it is pouring today with the threat of a freeze this weekend. And because there is precipitation, the highways came to a screeching halt this morning. I prefer the storms at night, while people are home and sound asleep.
A++++ for you, tD!
Bad girl, bad girl! LOL!
That guy is a raving lunatic..........
A++++ for you, xs!
I just realized that this happened in San Jose, that's where my daughter just moved to.
A++++ for you, SG.
I did not get up until 8:20 - I have not yet decided whether to go back to bed yet or not........I'll mull the proposition over a2nd cup of coffee.
A++++ for you, Truthie!
