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!
i can't believe i lived to be this age and never heard the term, didn't know that there were clubs etc that did this stuff. i never heard of key clubs or key parties in my life.
I'd always hoped it was just a bad joke and they didn't really exist. It's just so pathetic.
I've always wondered why it is okay with people who swap for their spouse to get boffed by someone else's spouse, maybe even with people watching, but if the spouse does the same thing in private, unbeknownst to their husband or wife with some single person of their own choosing, it is against the "rules" and can have nasty consequences, to include divorce, or a violent confrontation. What logic is there in making fine distinctions in what is still adultery, no matter how you spin it?
I'm doing some paneling for my loony liberal customer today-I'll come to class later-now where did I leave those earplugs...
