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....

Pity.

Xs there's a word for it in Spanish but I can't recall it. I'll take my nausea meds and rent "Evita" this weekend.
On the thread about it, which I hadns't seen yet when I linked the article, there are actually FReepers siding with the City Council.....unreal.
I'll be damned.

HAH! Yuck!
Freepers are? What the heck kind of freepers are those?? Sheesh.
I was last there in 2002, it hasn't changed much since the revolution. I'll never go back unless there's another revolution.
The kind that 1) hate anything about WalMart and 2) believe it is the responsibility of an employer to keep employees off welfare, even if it means government forcing them.
Thank you! You saved me the nausea of watching Madonna.
How Chirac views the butt-head, uh, head butt ZZ:
"President Jacques Chirac, at a meeting with the team Monday at the Elysée Palace, embraced Mr. Zidane and told him: "You are a virtuoso....You are also a man of heart, commitment and conviction. That's why France admires and loves you."
What?? But France is the only place you can get decent Dover sole meunière! :^)
Damn, Jacques, get a grip. "butt-head" was the perfect expression, bw.
Pretty lousy Freepers, if you ask me.
EXCEPT Sheriff Joe is rounding all of the illegals up and sending them to Tent City in the desert from which they came.
How's mom and baby?
Listening to the radio, and then the news last night about the discovery of a double homicide in Delaware had me really weirding out yesterday. One of the victims names was Gabriele Gabrielli.
