January 23, 2007, Tuesday, DABBLE
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: da-‘bul
Function: Verb
Etymology: perhaps frequentative of 2dab (a little dab will do ya?)
transitive verb:
1: To wet by splashing or by little dips or strokes : SPATTER
intransitive verb
1 a : To paddle, splash, or play in or as if in water b : to reach with the bill to the bottom of shallow water in order to obtain food
2 : To work or involve oneself superficially or intermittently especially in a secondary activity or interest
WFTDers are the best dabblers in the whole wide world. Now get to work!
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.
Rise and shine! I'm going back to bed for a while. No fooling around in here!
why are you going back to bed, it's morning?
I'm off to dabble in art this morning. It's my turn.
You are Numero Uno, though!
You are Numero Dos and an A++++ greets your name!
Morning!
Hope the ice storm turned away from you!
You are Numero Tres.
What is this: xsmommy, Secret Garden and you as the three first, second and third prize members. Something is amiss.
A++++ for you, Miss Mommy!
I thought a splatter was a tray for carring dabs of paint.
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!)

No ice storms here........and the power did finally stay on last night. Hopefully it stays that was for the day.
Gotta go take the kids to school and go to the grocery store - see ya later!
Yeah! Top 5.
I sincerely hope the nation learns not to dabble in b*tchcraft or other dark arts used by the dems.
If a duck is really fat, is he dabbling for the food or the pleasure of it?
Why do the 11th Commandment invokers always wind up trying to tear down Reagan to build up their candidate de jour? It's (almost) enough to make me want to vote for Missus Clinton just to spite em.
So Jack Bauer actually has a human father. So much for my dabbling in secret gov't gene-experiment theory.
I've read about it. TB is a pain because most people need to be on meds for a long time. Compliance is an especially big problem when most cases here are among illegals.
Girls rule! We also have a chick sub today! ;)
