Word For The Day, Day, Date



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".

ex·co·ri·ate; tr verb

1. To tear or wear off the skin of; abrade. See Synonyms at chafe. 2. To censure strongly; denounce: an editorial that excoriated the administration for its inaction.

[Middle English excoriaten, from Latin excorire, excorit- : ex-, ex- + corium, skin; see sker-1 in Indo-European Roots.]

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

I thought it required us to be smarter than the average bear, good-looking and witty, not necessarily in that order. j/k

A mad woman excoriates the President by putting him in Mad Magazine. I wish that bag would take a douche (French for "shower"), things'd smell a lot better in your neck of the woods.

I think Robert excoriated his butt with this stunt.

Real homework, rme.... Hurricane Dennis failed to excoriate the coast of Florida. Thank God.

The drugs have kicked in and I am slightly better. Thank God for American health care. Free meds from the doc besides...... the dang sinus infection is fading.

The class badly needs some decoration today:

First, some alleged forget-me-knockwursts:


Second, a crocus in the grass as it should be instead of being in a flowerbed:


You're welcome.

Given the chance, I would excoriate the likes of CNN, the NYT, and Hollyweird for carrying the water for John Kerry..
