WORD FOR THE DAY, TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 2007, MOCKERY
Merriam-Webster | 03/06/07 | Slip 18

Posted on 03/06/2007 4:28:52 AM PST by Slip18

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.

MOCKERY

Pronunciation: \ˈmä-k(ə-)rē, ˈmȯ-\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -er·ies
Date: 15th century

1: insulting or contemptuous action or speech: derision
2: a subject of laughter, derision, or sport
3 a: a counterfeit appearance; imitation b: an insincere, contemptible, or impertinent imitation (makes a mockery of justice)
4:something ridiculously or impudently unsuitable

Do I hear Hillary once? Do I hear Hillary twice? Do I hear Hillary a third time? What a mockery of the English language.

I don't play golf, but it's a popular sport.

maybe it's because there is no whoremongering, divorce or homosexuality in my extended family that i am so unaccepting of rudy. the rudybots tell me everyone has had to deal with it and will be accepting of this as showing rudy's humanity. i know it's oldfashioned of me, but i see serial infidelity as indicative of a character flaw.

the son has weird hair. Rudy shaves his combover and is baldish now, which is fine. i think he looks great. i even like him, personally. i just don't think he is the person to be the republican nominee, let alone president of the united states.

the rudybots are shrieking over how unfair it is to tar him with this stuff, but do they seriously think the MSM will give him a pass should he win the nomination and go up against the dem? how naive they are. if he's knocked out of the primary by this crap, it means he could not have withstood a dem onslaught in the general election. you pick a flawed candidate with a tawdry personal life and you are going to have crap flung at him, sure as shooting : )

No Lacrosse is field hockey played by throwing the ball around and catching it with little nets-on-sticks.

Let's not pick on the kid.

With parents like that, it's amazing he's not holding up liquor stores.

Reminds me of when Cyber and I were cyber-dating. My mom said, "He may be a serial killer." I told Cyber what she said.

Cyber said, "No, I'm a ham and egg kind of guy."

My mother said, "He's okay to date." LOL!

If you are married, I'm an absolute believer of fidelity in the marriage. Period. No ifs, ands or buts.
