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.

ZOIC

Adjective combining form
Pronunciation: Zoic

I guess we could say Hobbes1 is a tigerzoic humanoid. So sorry, Tiger. It was a low fast ball.

You can use any root word for the “zoic.” Just make it sound like we know what we’re writing.

Thanks.
It was on the fly and all that came ot me..

Nilsson? Schmilsson!

[patton]

what means sappho?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

:) - good answer!

[Hegewisch Dupa]

xs can better demonstrate that word with her croquette de jour than define it.....

[xsmommy]

i'm sure someone as accomplished as you knows where to find the meaning of a word....

[Dutchgirl]

what means sappho?

It's a "polite" term for a woman who can't keep a man's interest...

[patton]

...but lesbians DO keep our interest. We find them fascinating.

Ok, not the liberal black-pantsuited ones.

University of Miami moves to the mainframe
By Luke Meredith, News Writer
10 May 2005 | Search390.com

"Big Blue likes to counter industry claims that the mainframe is a dinosaur by citing examples such as University of Miami (Fla.). Fred Robinson, the university's director of technical operations, wasn't worried much about any Mesozoic Age issues down the line -- he was just sick of paying for server sprawl."

[xsmommy]

i think that Newt needs to step away from the crackpipe.....

Bad news: Breastfed tigers die

[Miss Behave]

"See my post above Hegewisch Dupa's for explanation.

How did he get in here so fast?"

That kiss-up Dupa took the Vomit Comet's express train at 4:50 am and ate this lunch sandwich (PB&J) by the front door and waited for the janitor to let him in. Now he probably wants MY sandwich for lunch today.

Dupa, you can have half...the bigger half. :-)

[Hegewisch Dupa]

You are the first one in here who didn't think I WAS the janitor!

[Miss Behave]

Whoops, forgot to explain that the Vomit Comet is a temperamental, big orange, stinky but lovable, I-think-I-can Geographazoid. ;-)

[Miss Behave]

LOL, Dupa. I think that Bobby's dad's the janitor. That's why Bobby gets to smoke in the bathroom.

Runaway bride?

[xsmommy]

handcuffed, blindfolded, gagged and staggering on high heels in fishnet stockings

Jenn is a suthren belle, this ain't her style.

[Miss Behave]

"Jenn is a suthren belle, this ain't her style."

LOL, xs! But she does have three mug shots...in full make-up of course.
