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. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. Im 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.
CONURBATION
Noun:
1) An aggregation or continuous network of urban communities [syn: urban sprawl]
Pronounced: Con/ur/bae/shun
Etymology: I have no clue
Good Morning, Class. Welcome to School!
RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your A, you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us. If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbies desk in the front of the class.

Ahmed found that he was conurbinated when he realized that his head gear had been wrapped counterclockwise rather than clockwise.
So he blew himself up in protest.

Congrats, you have discovered a word that I have no practical application for and cannot use in any sense humorous, serious or otherwise.
;-)
I bow to the master.

Hey Susie, is that your face or is a possum stuck in your collar?
I loved that comic strip!

"Is that anything like a roll in the hay?"
Au Contraire. The cacophony of concerned cries concerning the constant creep of conurbation would seem to connote a considerable carnival of coital canoodling as opposed to a conventional carpet crawl.

Harris County, Texas is one big conurbation.

My favorite knock-knock joke, stolen from our own Martin.
Knock-Knock
Who's there?
Control freak. Now you say Control Freak who?
I laughed till I cried when I read that and NOBODY gets that joke when I tell it to them! I have to explain it EVERY TIME! I need smarter friends...
To: markedman
Depends on what time you're driving through.
To: VRWCmember
Thanks. That's more syllables than I've used all week.

That's pronounced Boo-tay beer, as in John Big-boo-tay.
To: secret garden

Yeah, well John Bigbootie could have had it worse and been named John Smallberries.
To: secret garden
That's pronounced John Big-boo-tay.

And don't mispronounce it again!
(I had forgotten that it was Christopher Lloyd, that played that part.)
