Word For The Day, Monday, 1/27/06



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".

incongruous; adj.in·congru·ous·ly adv. in·congru·ous·ness n.

1. Lacking in harmony; incompatible: a joke that was incongruous with polite conversation. 2. Not in agreement, as with principles; inconsistent: a plan incongruous with reason. 3. Not in keeping with what is correct, proper, or logical; inappropriate: incongruous behavior.

Etymology: [From Latin incongruus : in-, not; see in-1 + congruus, congruous; see congruous.]

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....

Yes, I used it on the other thread as well as the gender-curiosity freepmail. You might just say I am rather congruously prolific today.

By the way, Ms xs, teacher, ma'am, I seem to have been dropped from your copy of the ping list. Could you, please, add me back on? Or, were you trying to tell me something?
