Word For The Day, Day, Date
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".
concupiscence
strong desire; especially : sexual desire - con·cu·pis·cent /-s&nt/ adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Late Latin concupiscentia, from Latin concupiscent-, concupiscens, present participle of concupiscere to desire ardently, from com- + cupere to desire
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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. ;-)

I'm doing an estimate in a town less than 20 miles from LAFB, so if I'm going to take advantage and go to the BX and commissary on the way home, I'd better start now-I'll come to class later...
Catch you then!
New WFTD coming up shortly. Watched the execution last night.
