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.

Oh, so true. If they find a crumb of evidence on the floor, they examine it, explore it, exploit it, then vomit it up. They are the extreme vomitorium.
A++++ for you!

Good day, Miss Slip:
The vacuity of the Left is just astounding
A kettle drum of '60s malaise deep and resounding
With one thought that cuts through the Doom & Gloom
The Left is solidly, succinctly about "Me"
Cowardly and greedy for all to see
They want their own private Utopian space
Separate from the violent and evil Human Race
They don't understand that every action has a fee
That has to be paid by someone, usually "We"!

All the desolate vacuity of life goes away when we let music in it.
