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

Posted on 03/20/2007 5:39:21 AM PDT by Slip18

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!

xsbrownie had a globetrotter come to do a talk at her school, i think he was one of the newer guys though. they always put on a fun show.

i was listening to the press conference about the 12 yo boy scout lost in NC. I am praying he is ok. xsbrownie is also 12 and i heard this AM that the kid is ADD, as she is, it really broke my heart to think of him out there wandering around for so many days by himself.

A high quality stereo speaker consists of a woofer, a midrange, and atwitter.

Only if you have a southern accent ;-)

For me, Spring's arrival is like Christmas Eve. As soon as Autumn arrives, I start counting down the number of days until Spring. The anticipation of warm weather, new leaves and flowers and birds, the smell of fresh earth... the whole shebang! The whole Spring and Summer awaits...

I haven't been able to follow it, it spooks me too much. I have also prayed all will be well.

The late GOP strategist & pit-bull Lee Atwater used to drive the Dems all atwitter...

Lately, it seems the Republicans don't have anyone with similar stones to keep up the good fight.

Time to see 300......

"Early on, in fact, Leonidas distinguishes the mission of his men from that of the "boy-lovers" of Athens..."

LOL, imagine the howling in certain cities when THIS shows.

EGads! just the thought of the perv with a teenaged girl is appalling.

Thank God Monica Lewinsky wasn't a teenager when Bill was "with" her.
