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 can't tell 'em apart. They just want to post in here, but can't.

It's kind of like the olden days in here, when the trolls would post to WFTD first, then go outside our realm and post everywhere. LOL!

The troll is already gone.

I see the difference now. DUers come in and leave. Ex-FReepers come in and stay for a while so we can play with them. Makes sense.

Still Canadian Latin, though I may have misspelled the od word. But I used the WFTD and in another language, so does that count for anything? Eh?

On this date, 44 yrs ago.....
5 May 1961:

Astronaut Alan Shepard took a 15 minute trip outside Earth's atmosphere. While awaiting ignition and take-off, Shepard supposedly remarked to mission control personnel, "So, all this crap under me was provided by the low-bidder, huh?"

Considering I was only 8 months old, I think you will forgive me for not remembering the events of the day :)

You would think Kleenex would sponsor the award for inventing the internet.
