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 again today. Beware !
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.
Pronunciation: va-'kyü-&-tE, v&-
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural –ties
Etymology: Latin vacuitas, from vacuus empty
1 : an empty space
2 : the state, fact, or quality of being vacuous
3 : something (as an idea) that is vacuous or inane
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.
Good morning!

MAHONING! TOPTEN
Don't break your noses on the door, okay?
Oh, I see that I'm on the "B" List. * pout *
I can't believe you, W. You're No. 1. Congratulations!
Vacuaty..............what is between the ears of most lefties!!!
Good Morning.
My coffee cup has a vacuity in it.
And apparently mine as well since i obviously can't spell.........
Did you see FA's little answer in there about hot cocoa?
Okay, okay. I have to separate into two lists, otherwise no one gets pinged, or so I have been told. "M" marks the spot for the second ping list. I can put you on top if that will make you feel better.
You came in as the shower (not like taking a bath), No. 3. Congrats to all!!!
Plus you get an A++++!
LOL!!!!
I'm in a vacuous state this morning. We stayed up late watching the new series "The Triangle."
Really? How many people total are on the WFTD list?
I've done mega-pings to combined lists with no problem -- upwards of 50 people, maybe more.
Highly recommended!
Damn, I go to drive into work and I'm late for class.
Morning all!
