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!
There's a thought.
Then frap the frogs, not me. Sheesh! :^)
Yeah, but did you know about this ludicrous "security & prosperity" horse$h!t??
That area around Ithaca (CoE) is a cesspool of liberalism...
HAH!! Sure has! Except they seemed to like that Napoleon guy for a while, but then he got his just desserts. (In case you care, French for "the frogs" is "les grenouilles", pronouced roughly "lay gren-WEE-(yeh)").
It will be 117 degrees with a 61 percent dew point today around 3:00 p.m. Rain can't come down. It's too hot to reach the ground.
Is a snow cone the same as a frappe?
How's this:
Frappe to your left
Frappe to your right
Don't be bereft
Frappe with all your might.
Couldn't hep myself.
Jee-zus!! I love "crap frapped out of them".
As a political movement in late 18th century France it could best be described as organized anarchy.

Next time I see "Independence Day" I'm gonna cheer like crazy when the aliens blow up the Capitol.
What a truism that is, Neo.
xs, I agree with you wholeheartedly!
this, on the other hand, is very clever!!
ROTFLMAO! I get it this time. "Frap" = "Flap."
"Frap" seems right, from the tone of that article.
It's very lovely place, isn't it? Or at least it was the last time I was there 36 years ago.
