In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of the "Word for the Day".
frap [pronounced as spelled, verb, from Old French fraper to to strike or beat. Frapped, frapping, fraps. ]
a. STRIKE, BEAT
b. to draw tight: tighten with bonds (as a ship by passing cables around it: bid, draw together, or secure with ropes
A note:
frappé [pronounced fra-PAY] meaning iced or frozen, an iced drink or thick milk shake, or the ballet movement in which the free foot beats against the ankle of the supporting foot, appears to be of the same derivation
Example sentence:
Another time.
Rules: Everyone should leave a post using the Word for the Day in one or more sentences.
The sentence(s) should, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

No pushing at the door please!
Frap 'em so they stay frapped.
Could use a frape right now in this New York summer.
Robert, you need a frapping right now.
He would enjoy it too much.............
I also have blue eyes. As Jack Benny used to describe his, "Bluer than the end of an Eskimo hitch-hiker's thumb." I suppose now that might be considered a racist remark. If so, too bad!
the dent then placed a mini nitrous inhaler over his nose and mouth, inhales deeply 2 or 3 times, and then smiles with glazed eyes... Fridays just cannot be beat!
My youngest sister is fed up with her. Just talked to my sis for an hour. I just thank the Good Lord I live in AZ and not So. Cal.
My brother just paid $3000 to have her teeth made beautiful. What a twit she is. I would have frapped her royally. I won't put up with it.
She doesn't have depression. She's just a pain in the rear. And she just loves being that way.
Tutus are just too fru-fru for me.
And I'm not telling you what I don't have on. LOL!
That's what the Minutemen and women were trying to do, but they weren't allowed to hold anyone. They could only call the Border Patrol, and they never bothered picking anyone up. Yep, 2Fro, we have done been frapped.
Moochie, wanna tell me about weather? It's going to be 117 here today. It's already over 102, and, of course, that's in the shade.
I have ten brothers and sisters. Only three of us have brown eyes. The rest are green or blue.
Have you ever noticed on British television shows they only have small refrigerators and freezers? Only one ice cube tray in those little things. I use at least six of those, but I have an ice maker, so it doesn't matter.
Be back later sparkling clean!
This is a tutu-free house. Pants-free, too. We don't talk about the shirts and blouses that we don't need to wash weekly.
(Robt nods head up and down, and up and down, and ....)
"Be back later sparkling clean!"
And cool and smellin’ good, I’ll betcha!
Those festering Euro-trash and 3rd world maggots can't get to the microphone fast enough....
Hey! It's hot here, and if we can let the house be hotter, we save money on laundry AND air conditioning! It's a two-fer! And, I get the side benefit of having Miss Slippy without a tutu. And I don't have to wear a shirt, either. Pants are optional. And I go commando.
You have my sympathy, Mooch. I don't miss the stinking humidity from back East.
Robt notes, "2-fur's are good ...."
