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 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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Some may find the idea of an armed Supreme Court justice incongruous; i find it refreshing : )

it's Fat Tuesday EVE! get UP!
oh yes you are, baby!
mernin!
hi
Good Morning!
Talk about the incongruous assembled!
Also disheveled.
It is contrary to the Separation of Powers envisioned by our Founding Fathers. The Justices hang out in the Supreme Court. The Senators and Representatives from the fifty states are the ones who hang out incongruous. Sheeesh!
In New Orleans, it used to be called Lundi Gras....It had some traditions of its own, but mostly, I think, it was the day everybody got ready for Mardi Gras.
Incongruous would be Barbara Boxer paired off with Mark Steyn on a hot date...or Ann Colter and Harry Reid having a quiet dinner together....
Happy Birthday, Nicknamed Bob

Hooo-ah!
Clinton's words and his deeds are incongruous
Billy lies about size (speaking schlonguous)
Though Juanita and Paula
Attest that he's smaller
Clinton claims little Willy's humongous
(assume Mama Cass voice)
Lundi Monday
Can't trust that day...
