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.

Do you need the keys to the handcuffs, xs? We can use more than one on Vastie. He's a big guy.

Because of my contumacious nature, and my unwillingness to be contused by the hysteria of others, I have avoided being enmeshed in the conurbation of panicked FR vanities about Harriet Miers, such as this one: Left Behind

Good morning, Gabz! Physical therapy will help in the long run. In the short run, it's a piece of caca. Are you able to walk now and drive?

I don't do detentions. They don't work. But a good "take you out to the barn" works wonders.

I read a lot of them last night. I didn't want to get into it with anyone yesterday.

A++++ for you. And you used a whole lot of "c" words we've been using in the past week or two. There have been a lot of "a" words, too. Must be streaking here.

Being allowed to drive and being able to drive are 2 entirely different things..............my car is still not running properly. Hubby has finally tossed in the towel and it is going into hte shop on Friday....after I get a "crash" course in how to drive his truck :(


As to walking - it's one step at a time, literally. I'm sporting an air cast/brace and spent the entire session walking without crutch or cane...learning how to walk properly is a royal pain...........

Intellectually I know it is the best thing for me - but dang it, it's hard and it hurts :(

Greetings to you, too, Laura!

How's everything going? Are you getting heat or coolness today?
