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.
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!!!
We should ask the doctor. Doc, I'm having a CT Scan tomorrow, and Miss Slip just had an MRI. Can either of us be expected to die of claustrobia? And are they really going to dope me up for this as Miss Slip suggests?
arghy, grimmy is trying to make something dirty out of our conversation... /whine ; )
explorer pinged me there, i thought it was very cute!
Lacking lovely ladylike leadership from Thaumaturge Thatcher, the Torys tumble totally today.
I didn't know you were of French descent.... :-|
I prefer that too.
But sometimes when asked a pointed question, the trolls merely run as they don't really want to 'debate', they want to spew as many talking points as possible in as short a time as possible.
I really hate trolls.
Way to go, Grimmy, let me know if you get anywhere!
I saw that, LOL. funny.
I suggest that neither of us holds our breath. :-[
She's no fun, eh? Huh. Catholics!
Ok - that was pretty funny
What has one eye, one horn, it flies, it's purple , and it eats people?
The answer, of course, was: It's a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater.
So he wrote the song.
And another afterwards, PPE Part Deux or something.
I can't disagree with you........
But as much as I dislike trolls I totally despise the hit and run FReepers, and there are many of them. I see them often on the smoking/tobacco related threads. They will make a horribly disparaging remark and then not come back..
The other type I despise are the ones that will bring a disagreement with you from one thread into a totally unrelated thread.
you are getting very close to making me drag out Dr. Demento pics.......
Yeah, have run across both types.
A few have gotten bad enough to be banned.
Hahahah, aw, the poor dog...
I guess I missed the troll, couldn't believe my eyes that the WFTD thread had a post removed.
How are you?
