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....
what a socialistic little cockalorum! A+++
okay now... let’s not go and get feisty on me ; )
A+++ hiya Sea! so the Red from Venezuela gives the obams a US-bashing tome, as a gift, and it goes from #5400 on the Amazon book list up to #2. RME!
I know. It just makes a sane person want to puke.
And I can certainly understand why. She is such a skank. A rich one but still a skank.
But with that said, treasury is lying that the stress tests are not done.
it's going to be a bumpy ride
Apparently that little cockalorun from Iran was giving a speech spitting all over the US and a number of delegates walked out on him.
I want to get my hands around his scrawny neck....
i can’t keep track of who’s who from my spot underneath my bed! ; )
he is cockalorSCUM! A+++
And I don’t think Treaury’s stress tests will be all that bad.
That’s right, I expect them to lie
I think Roman Maronie invented this word when he described our fearless leader as a cockalorum and a fogging icehouse.
well we can’t have one of these per week now can we, or they will start losing credibility. There was a NY post article casting doubt on Susan Boyle, but the most interesting part of that was the comment section where people were pointing out that the author of that particular piece had no problem swallowing Obams hook line and sinker but was looking suspiciously at the spinster from great britain.
A+++ btw. simon does fit the bill for this word.
not sure who he is, but A+++ ; )
I read the word and thought of simon, then spotted the new phony youtube of his latest “talent”.
Roman Maronie was the gnagster in Free Johnny Dangerously who was deported to Sweden and claimed he wasn’t from there.
