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. I’m 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.
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 Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.
We have mooooooooooooove the thread over I guess.
I didn't notice the date was wrong yesterday-I did see it when I came here at 5:30 this morning...
The elevator of a 747 is big enough. But the Cub's top speed is below the 747's stall speed. This makes the whole ordeal problematic.
ooopsy
Simple: The 747 comes up behind the Cessna, but just a little bit lower.
When it get underneaths, it "pops" up the elevator and (pancake style) "flips" the Cessna up and over into the pit stop area: The crew jumps over the rail, sticks the jack underneath, gives the driver a Gatorade, washes the windshield, fills the tanks,changes the tires, checks the suspensions ...
Oh. Wait. Too much Nascar.
No Cessnas. The hand prop picture is a Piper Cub. The missing whell picture is a Piper Warrior. No such thing as too much NASCAR. But if a 747 bump drafts a small plane the wall called Earth is the next stop.
Oh. So the resulting hole is what little plane calls a "pit stop" after it drafts a 747?
Small crater
LOL, Cessna flapjacks..
by the way, did you ever get Dashing's engine started when she needed that jumpstart?
I'll take conurbation over urban decay any time.
(I'm back. Rosh Hashana ended this evening!)
