Word For The Day, Tuesday, April 15, 2008
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".
fes·cen·nine [fes-uh-nahyn, -nin]
-adj
scurrilous; licentious; obscene: fescennine mockery
[Origin: 15951605; < L Fescennīnus of, belonging to Fescennia, a town in Etruria noted for jesting and scurrilous verse; see -ine1]

I'm sure the fascinating, fescennine, former first lady will be joining them soon.
Lindsay Lohan says it's fine
To have ten buttons, but fescennine
A+ for you!
Is this a great time of year or what?
Tax season?
We pay quarterly. Don’t get me started on how much I think we’re overtaxed.
soother, i understand that mcnut is speaking at your alma mater this AM.
xshub had a full third of his salary withheld this year which is the only reason we are not having to pay and are getting a little bit back. it is fescinine what the gov’t extracts from us. did i spell that right? i guess if i had a SLAVE window going i could tell...
That’s just wrong. A 22-year-old woman who hasn’t borne children shouldn’t sag that much. She could hide a ham sammich under that fenarkey.
