WORD FOR THE DAY, TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2007, ATWITTER
Merriam-Webster | Slip 18

March 19, 2007, Tuesday, ATWITTER

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.

ATWITTER

Pronunciation: a-'twi-ter
Function: adjective

1: nervously concerned : EXCITED (gossips atwitter with speculation)

I'm all atwittered about the native plants we bought at the Botanical Gardens on Saturday. We've put in three, but, yesterday when Cyber got home, it was too danged hot to put more in. They are already blooming!

more people have dogs than cats at least in the US. 4 in 10 households have dogs, 3 in 10 have cats.

Home from work and cooking meatloaf-

Queen Hillary and her sort
Must not have enough glitter
Obama is the latest darling
To set the MSM atwitter

Of course as soon as Hillary
Starts dishing up the dirt
On his past transgressions
He's likely to be hurt

We all know how able she is-
Her influence travels miles
As long as she has some stooges
To bring her FBI files

While everyone's heart apparently is atwitter over Spring, mine is sinking low over the thought of Passover cleaning.

I have to see if this thing works.

Is your heart all atwitter?

Oh, that was great, T5! You were born with a poetic licensure.

A++++ for you!

Pass the Gafelta fish, please.

Moochie, you still have plenty of time. It will all come to pass.

A++++ for you!

A++++ for you!
