In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of four "Words for the Day".
1. keck (the word is onomatopoeic)
to retch, make the sound of retching, or to feel disgust
2. quiddle (from Middle Latin quidditas, what, anything)
Verb: to dawdle or trifle;
Noun: a fussy or fastidious person, or one who wastes energy about trifles
3. Weekly word that can only be found at the online International House of Logorrhea. I can't find it in my dictionaries at home:
quaedam:
a disparaging term for "woman"
4. Friday word: karezza
(appears to be a Tantra Yoga term: pronounced kaRETSsah)
prolonged coitus in which the Big O is deliberately withheld, i.e. coitus reservatus (To see more about this term, go here.)
Example sentence:
Are you kidding, I’m in enough trouble as it is.
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using one or more of the Words for the Day in one or more sentences.
The sentences must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Good Morning, Class. Welcome to School!

No pushing at the door please!
Good grief! Well good luck to you. I live in the wrong country is right!
Isn't NY socialism great? Technically, it is next to canadian socialism.
HAH! Great timing, eh? Just when it's not doing anybody any good, NOW I get fixed...
What the queck are you doin' up this early?
If you are not doing anyone, Argh, you are not trying. And I mean that in the nicest way.
I am kecking over the fact I am still quiddling with socialist loons on a Walmart bashing thread.
If I think about it at a reasonable time in the morning I will supply link..........but I seriously doubt anyone would be interested in getting involved - it's down right nasty.
(actually, it's pretty LATE here)
You're too kind. But one look at me these days and the women say "To keck with this!"
It's past your bedtime where you live anyway, Miss Gabrielle, you should be sawing logs by now.
The entire class is nuts tonight.
I will be sawing those logs momentarily, thank you for your concern regarding my beauty sleep.
Good night everyone!
So lower your standards. ;)
I'm done with it (and all else) for the night.
see ya in the morning!
G'night!
Hah! Again? Keck!
Get to bed, already. I am thinking of the cr@p we are going to catch in the am...LOL
We walked the dogs at about ten last night, just twenty minutes later all heck broke loose when two bears knocked our neighbor's garbage cans over. Since tomorrow is garbage day they must have thought we set out a buffet. Cars were everywhere, word had spread and everyone wanted to see them. Cops were up here cruising.......no one saw them after that.
Up the street from us the night before last, one bear was after a hummingbird feeder, it spilled on the window of the house and the bear was licking it off the window, the homeowner was knocking on the window in an attempt to scare it off.......
What a hoot this is getting to be.........
Well, it was an idea. I mean, c'mon, it about 3:00 am!
Sounds like a human snack, to me.
True. If this were Montreal, I would have given up already and gone to one of the all night bagel factories to drown my sorrows. Fresh, hot, melt-in-your-mouth sesame goodness!
