Tusday, MAY 1, 2007, EGRESS
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.
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.
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: 'E-"gres
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin egressus, from egredi to go out, from e- + gradi to go -- more at GRADE
1 : the action or right of going or coming out
2 : a place or means of going out : EXIT
Function: intransitive verb,
1 : to go or come out
If this is your last day, I must get busy and write you a pome. MMM...
Hmmmn.
Laura earl in “in” - not eggressed yet. (Wonder if she’s dressed yet? Note to shelf: Check with CG on status of LE’s undressing egress ... before I digress about the undress eggress.)
The odd thong (er, thing) about a chicken’s delivery of the rooster is that the rooster actually came before the chicken could deliver her eggress.
Hah!
And here I was, innocently thinking that they served egrits down south with scambled eggress and bacon.
Egress to move out
Ingress to move in
Progress to move forward
Congress to be against any movement at all
!
A lot of kids exhibit passive-egressive behavior: They’ll walk right by you w/o paying attention and then just leave the room as you’re talking to them...
Kudos & thanks for your work as Subbie, and best wishes to SD as he asusmes the role!
(BTW, what happens to all the hardware? ;)
Robert, you haven't had an innocent thought in years.
“I” dissemble (er, resemble) that remark .....
Well, you’re No. 2, tD. Congratulations.
A++++ for you Robb!
Anything exciting happening there?
Coffee doesn’t come from cholera, you doof.
I said, "Who cares?"
Now, I've never heard of an eggress delivering a rooster, but again, I don't care.
I think an egret delivered Hitlary after eating a shark.
Very good, CJ! A++++ for you!
This was no opus, NnB. I’ll still be here. I just can’t type most of the day. The next day my hands do not work. It’s a matter of lifestyle changes.
Congratulations, Miss Retirement!!!
Well let's see.........I got my job back tending bar at the Lodge and my friend Sue got her old job back and so now we are spending hours trying to handle the logistics that we had originally had down pat for juggling the 3 kids and school, girl scouts, little league, doctor/dentist appointments for not only them but Sue's husband, I have over 500 seedling plants to get in the ground, and twice that many seeds to plant, and my tiller is DOA...........nah, nothing exciting around here.
Oh, I almost forgot......tomorrow is the annual seafood festival and after coolbreeze and I check out the science fair exhibit at school, Jax created electricity from lemons (clean, renewable energy) we're headed to Chincoteague for an afternoon of seafood lover heaven!!!!
I do believe the rooster “delivers it” to the chicken. Tell me if I’m wrong.
