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

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

Now we know why the dish ran away with the spoon -- for the happy ending.

There's no lacrosse here or in So. Cal. as far as I know. Must be an Eastern thing. Or it sounds kind of like Jai Alai.

It's really a New England, elitist thing, but it's spreading some along the coast. It isn't here on the frontier.

Don't get me into singing a Bobby Darin song: "Somewhere beyond the sea, somewhere waiting for me ..." You will be pleasantly unsurprised.

OMG, i have seen it all now. a rudybot accused the anti-rudys of SEXUAL ENVY, that if the antirudys had satisfying sex lives they would not be so JEALOUS and judgmental of rudy's whoremongering. i am going to hurt myself laughing at that.

That's textbook. Anyone who stands up for morality must be a closet-case repressed prude. Don't ya know?

Intercollegiate women's Field Hockey is probably the most violent sport I have ever seen.

But, hey, what's not to like, cute girls running around in short skirts beating each other with sticks?

Sheesh, I didn't see this post. It happens a lot when you're running a thread. I won't bruise you. We use mink handcuffs. The only person who has the key, though, is Argh, and he doesn't come in until Friday. LOL!

Maybe he'll make a special dispensation for you! Don't get mushy, though, because he hates it. He's a manly man!!!

-translation: the rudibots are sexually frustrated men who dream of a second life with a sexy new trophy wife?

You two ought to go to some violent women's sports games in the future. Maybe you'll meet a woman with no teeth and tread marks on her back (and it wasn't from spooning). Sick.

Gonna tell you a story that you wont believe
But I fell in love last friday evenin
With a girl I saw on a bar room t.v. screen

Well I was just gettin ready to get my hat
When she caught my eye and I put it back
And I ordered myself a couple o more shots and beers

The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
Round and round, oh round and round
The meanest hunk o woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena

She was five foot six and two fifteen
A bleached-blonde mama
With a streak of mean
She knew how to knuckle
And she knew how to scuffle and fight

And the roller derby program said
That she was built like a fridgerator with a head
Her fans call her tuffy
But all her buddies called her spike

You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
Round and round, oh round and round
The meanest hunk o woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena

Round and round, go round and round
Round and round, go round and round
Round and round

Well I could not help it
But to fall in love
With this heavy-duty woman
I been speakin of
Things looked kind of bad
Until the day she skated into my life

Well she might be nasty
She might be fat
But I never met a person
Who would tell her that
Shes my big blonde bomber
My heavy handed hackensack mama

You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
Round and round, oh round and round
The meanest hunk o woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena

Round and round, go round and round
Round and round, go round and round
Round and round
