Tuesday, January 9, 2007, Tuesday, BAILIWICK
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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.
Pronunciation: ‘ba/il/i/wick
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English baillifwik, from baillif + wik dwelling place, village, from Old English wIc, from Latin vicus village -- more at VICINITY
1 : the office or jurisdiction of a bailiff
2 : a special domain
Still haven’t put my bailiwick jail in here, but it will be coming soon to every theatre soon!
RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.
If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.
Up a little late tonight. See all y'alls in the morning!
I believe the Isle of Jersey is a baliwick, the last part of the Duchy of Normandy. Queen Elizabeth II isn't their Queen, she's their Duchess.
I hope to never again see a bailiwick.
You are Numero Uno plus you get an A++++.
Welcome aboard!
Oh, you are Numero Dos, and I guess you get an A++++ for the inconvenience of the bailiwick.
Sorry, not my bailiwick
Fast Monte Carlos
Are my freaking bailiwick
It's hot check it out
a little early this morning ain't we?
Good morning, ms. slip and everyone.
Morning!
The cost of health care is rising
Faster than the newest fad
Making some of us remember
When it wasn't all that bad
When health insurance wasn't paid
By the government or your boss
So you didn't run to a doctor
Every time you wanted to toss
And emergency rooms really were-
Now they're just another venue
For illegals to get something free
From our income tax paid menu
In whose bailiwick shall we meet?
How's your cold today?
The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
i am sensing a theme here... ; )
Better, I slept thru most of the night and was only awakened to sneeze once. my voice is much lower (seductively so, says an -ex) but that will pass. I'm finally over it (small cough).
Between my brother, 2 sisters and parents, some 200 photos were taken during the holidays and apparently I'm not in any of them. I guess I wasn't in their bailiwick!
Or you were the photographer. As the mom, I have lots of pictures of everyone because I am always the one behind the camera.
