Word For The Day, May 5, 2005, Thursday
Argh | 05-05-05 | Slip 18

Thursday, May 5, 2005

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.

THAUMATURGE

Noun
Pronunciation: Thaw/my/turd . Oh, excuse me. Thaw/my/turj.
Etymology: [Greek thaumatourgos : thauma, thaumat-, wonder + ergon, work; see werg- in Indo-European Roots.]


1) A performer of miracles or magic feats.

Thank you, Arghie!!!

No I can't blame you for their bloodlines, but I can for your blanket scorn :)

...and they've been remarkably redeemed by the enhancing effects of living in this wonderful country...and being attached to you, of course!

That's why they become mods, because nobody can live with them and they have to have SOMETHING to do to pass the time until they die...

There may be a few holes in my blanket.... :-]

I have a client whose wife is 100% French. She takes no pride in that heritage right now, and is clearly disgusted by French public opinion and, of course, French government.
I believe she used the phrase "spineless, whining sissies".

Good day, Miss Slip:

A year ago Howard Dean
Became a Media Darling and was widely seen
As the Lightning Rod Thaumaturge
Of the laciviously lagging Left's Cabal

With the Small Man's fervor of Il Duce
Howie became the Queen of MoonBats and Gays
Until the Night of the Iowa Caucus

Where with the gleaming lechery of Bacchus
He discovered a Political Truth hardly small
That the Pen may be Mightier than the Sword
But a scream can be much more dangerous than words!

That's mild compared to my husband's language :)

Thanks!

We do have a few repeat trolls.
Saw the "handicapped lifeguard" the other day, he'd been a two post wonder until today.

The worm is supposedly the best part of the tequila. I just can't eat it, though.
