Word For The Day, Tuesday, October 3, 2005,
10/03/05 | Slip 18

Posted on 10/04/2005 5:46:47 AM PDT by Slip18

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.

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 Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.

I tried to work "all your base are belong to us" into it, but it just didn't work...sometime in the future, perhaps. (-;

Dick Cheney, on Hannity's radio show, was stumping for Harriet Miers. When asked how the president expects to fool the conservatives who have always supported him, the Vice-President remarked, "We can con our base, Sean."

A continuation of urban communities, or of urbane communities? And is there a difference? And where the hell did I put my car keys?

You're No. 2!

That's how my STBX feels about me too!

The BOSNYWASH Corridor is one of the few conurbations I think it's reasonable to allow AMTRAK to operate.

I don't know what to say, Truthie. I only saw Sean doing his gig in CA with the illegal immigrants.

But A++++ for you!

I don't know. I'm just the subbie. Do you expect me to know everything?

Your keys are in your pants pocket where you lose them every single day.
