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. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

A+++ excellent. hope arnold drops him.

Good morning. This does look like a Friday kind of word but now I have to ask. Which song did you hear?
Take care of yourself. That is no way to spend the holidays.
Sweet Child o Mine. i love that song!
Good guitar, horrible vocals. ;)
the guitar is excellent. xsboy cannot understand why some of his team mates like Pink Floyd and led zep etc., but the ones who do, play guitar. so the other night on the way to hockey practice, i had the classic rock station on and had him listen to pink floyd and i said THIS is why they like it, if they are guitar players. i was not a huge Jimi Hendrix fan, but i love All Along the Watchtower for the guitar.
good to see you, LF! figures that a more racy word has some of the "old=timers" showing up! A for you : )
I give up, there is no obvious story for this word. I am playing hooky today - I have a funeral in an hour or so. Later.
