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 spilled some mayo in my sink just this morning. Filthy mess.

Didn't clinton do the same thing? while looking at a picture of geraldo rivera?

Calleld us a bunch of goons and linked to an anti-FR blog.

He hit a bunch of different threads before getting the zot.

he said nothing profound, it was a link to a blogspot, which i would never click on in a million years, and he said this is the answer to you people and your crap, or something like that. he spammed it all over FR. it was typical lowlevel DU juvenile antics. they don't make a decent troll anymore, they are not half the fun they used to be!

if this was your day to sub, and had the thing been female (assuming trolls even have genitalia), you probably still would have given it a A++++

Sure was apropos. The little stinker.

Don't they usually come back the same day or next day under a different name? We'll have to look for him tomorrow.

and you, mr anal retentive, "let's weigh the relative worth and substance of the links and word usage of WFTD students by giving them a precise NUMERICAL GRADE (the highest of which went to the ne'er-do-well boys)", this is a thread where we have fun together learning new things. it is not a FOR CREDIT course taught where it is important to distinguish between the homework offerings. i am happy that we have people that want to come here and spend time with us and use a word, and so i will give them a "grade", acknowledge their cleverness (or in your case LACK Thereof... since you have yet to profer anything resembling homework). i do not post a class rank at the end of the semester, but if i did, you would be smack at the bottom of the dang barrel, fyi : )

your dissertation on grading policy is fascinating. You forgot the part where your little sappho sisters get grades sans homework. WAIT - other way around - you got the grade! Now I recall. Well I'm sure you earned it somehow............

I didn't think anyone would catch that in my pronunciation part. LOL! At least I had the etymology straight from the horse's mouth. Arghie sent it to me.

A++++ for you, Darksheare!
