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.
i gave you a few pluses on your confused gender freepmail but i don't see you on the other thread, you will need to ping me.
He's around number 5 on that McPain thread.

No wonder his face is red in that pic!
T'wasn't beauty killed the beast, twas a tumor incongruous big as a battle ship and took him down.
A+++ tumescent tumor that one
No, no, no! (Seinfeld voice: Not that there's anything wrong with it.)
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?
Marty's many things, but I wouldn't necessarily call him a pimp...
no i didn't drop you! i will put you on! heck we were just updating last week and asking if people wanted off. i will def add you back in. are you on the rest of the teacher's lists? do you get pinged by vast, slippy, arghy and secret?
I *have* been known to pimp my blog.
Happy Birthday, NNB!
(That's prolly a better handle than the original- NoNameBum...)
oh he be pimping, alright....
yes, they all have me. It was just my nice teacher xs who threw me by the wayside.
UNDER THE BUS!
