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. habromania
Noun: [from Greek words habros meaning graceful or delicate and mainesthai to be mad]:
a kind of insanity during which the delusions are of a cheerful character
2.quackle [onomatopoeic]
to choke or suffocate
3. uranism [YUR-en-ism: from the Greek Urania, another name for the Greek goddess of sex and love Aphrodite. This is what my 3-volume Webster’s says. I thought Urania was just the Muse of astronomy. Then there was the Titan Uranus who was the sky god and first ruler. He was the son of Gaea, who created him without help. He then became the husband of Gaea (why the complex is named after Oedipus, who at least didn't know he was marrying his mom, instead of Uranus, is beyond me, but I digress) and together they had many offspring, including twelve of the Titans. His rule ended when when Cronus, encouraged by Gaea, castrated him. He either died from the wound or withdrew from earth.]
a homosexual condition especially when involving physically normal males
4. Friday word:
souteneur [pronounced soo-ten-EUR, from French sustenir to support]
A type of pimp, a man who cohabits with a prostitute, lives off her earnings, and often solicits for her - also called cadet
Example sentence:
Souteneur: think Bill and President Hillary.
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....

If I do something especially nice for Cyber, and he buys me a nice present (never flowers, my choice), am I a souteneur?
My weather report, the newspaper is wrong on this. We got three inches of rain in Phoenix Tuesday night. We're southeast of Phoenix, and we got over an inch. It was lightning, thunder and rain, oh, my. Got the same thing going last night.
I see a branch of the cactus broke off during the 60 mph winds, and all of our leaves drifted next door, but the next door neighbor's leaves drifted into our yard. I'll be sucking leaves tomorrow. It's only 93 degrees. Monsoonal weather is now in effect. Yes, sireee, Bob.
That probably ruined your chances for any halftime nookie.
i have worried he will not want to come home with us, actually : ( he is staying with my friend Rosemary and her family, so i know he is doing fine, but we have missed him so much.
Texasgirl is a souteneur, who became a norteneur for awhile, and is now a souteneur again now that she is back in TX.

Usually during the week, I'm the way you are on the weekend. LOL! When Cyber is home all day on the weekends, we get stuff done around here. It takes two to Tango.
Tangle, dammit, tangle. Not Tango.
(Arghie ain't interested in your dance lessons! "I" (on the other hand) being swerve and deboner, appreciate the arts and ask that you continue the table dance interested (er, uninterupted.....)
The Dent, however, wants you to get back into the chair and get stripped down so he can poke you. Er, strapped down.
Bush I's Supreme Court injuctice, David Soutenurope, proved to be an endless enemy of AMerican freedoms and liberty, but a proponent of increasing government's power.
