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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.
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.

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia - Fear of the number 666.
well it is all for naught, bc i read that the real number of the Beast is the most unremarkable 616 or 615, something less then memorable.
Having a tangy picante sauce with the annual Cinco de Mayo meal can be considered a peccant pleasure...
My daughter once said that 666 was the Devil's area code(!)
I guess that there are so many more people in hell now, they had to open up some new ones...
