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!!!

I would have given you a higher grade, tD. I've never done that. Probably tomorrow I'll do it. I've done that with milk, though. But mayo is more messy.

Tim McGraw is a thaumaturge for managing to link rap to country music. xshub is the country music fan in our house, i don't follow it, but i thought this was interesting.

Wouldn't that be "traumaturgigating"?
