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".

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

Nothing like reading something about the Hildebeast excoriating our President, to get one's blood boiling on a Monday AM

Sadly, many on the left refuse to excoriate the perpetrators of 7/7.

A++ you have to wonder WHAT, if anything, it would take to get them to excoriate the terrorist for their acts.

i skimmed some of yesterday's thread this AM, gabz, i am so sorry about your ankle. what a dang drag. you have to stop beating yourself up for it, though, there must have been a reason that God wanted you laid up this summer and not off doing everything you had planned.

75% of them would change their tune if it was their immediate family. The remainder are too brain-dead -- if you were to excoriate their Leftist "beliefs" you would see a vacuum.

I am not so sure about that :) It's a shame I wasn't drunk, since God always looks out for little children and drunks :)

I had a dream last night that Ann Coulter was nominated to SCOTUS. I woke up laughing when Sen. Kennedy tried to pin her down on how she would vote on Roe v Wade and she excoriated him by saying; "Senator, much water has to pass under the bridge before I can answer that. Before you make a big splash about a hypothetical vote, and get us to drown in the details, I'll just say that I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it."
