Word For The Day, Monday, 4/20/09



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".

cockalorum; noun

A little man with an unduly high opinion of himself. Boastful talk; braggadocio

Etymology: [Perhaps alteration (influenced by Latin -ōrum, genitive pl. ending) of obsolete Flemish kockeloeren, to crow, of imitative origin.]

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

my bro sent me this article about NUMEC. Hard to believe, as he said, that little old Apollo, PA was the site of weapons grade uranium. we drove past the place every Sunday to get to church. Our parish was St James the Greater, up on the hill in Apollo.

And you thought of me.... ;^) I have blueberry vodka and vanilla vodka, but never heard of bakon vodka before - the recipes for marinade and a bloody mary sound great though!
