Word For The Day, Monday, 3/8/10
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".
feckless; adj.
1. ineffective; incompetent; futile: feckless attempts to repair the plumbing. 2. having no sense of responsibility; indifferent; lazy.
Lacking purpose or vitality; feeble or ineffective.
Careless and irresponsible.
Etymology: 1590s, from feck, "effect, value, vigor" (late 15c.), Scottish shortened form of effect; popularized by Carlyle, who left its opposite, feckful, in dialectal obscurity.
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....
Did you change your major, after technique? ; )
no, honestly, there is no compendium of crimes that you cover in Criminal law class.
rolling my sore eye at you ; )
I hope he stays out of Fort Marcy Park...
Rained out for the day-
Obama’s feckless machinations
To pass his idiotic bill
Have angered the population
Who say they’ve had their fill
No matter how many appearances
Or how many gimmicks he’s tried
Even standing with captive doctors
Has still not budged the tide
Now Massa won’t go quietly
And is really rocking the boat-
The ‘rats will be out in November
If yes is how they vote
I love it that Massa is shooting off his mouth as fast and loud as he can-I wonder how many bodies he can lead the ethics watchdogs to?
dang, slippy, glad you are both ok, but you and cyber sound like you are stuck in a THREE STOOGES episode over there or something! LOL!
apparently he’s still resigning, but glenn must think he has something to say if he’s going to have him on for the full hour tomorrow.
A+++ i hope he is doing more than covering that fruity booty of his!
“Fort Marcy Park”
And private airplanes, jogging trails, etc.
He was slamming Rahm Emmanuel on Fox, and satan’s right hand man or some such was the only name Massa called him that wasn’t bleeped out. If he’s going to be on Beck tomorrow, I’m going to make sure I’m here and have plenty of popcorn...
Did you minor in them?
everyone stayed in a holiday inn express last night and woke up a COMEDIAN didn’t they???? : )
With a setup line like that, who could possibly resist?
No, but she did play on the intramural team. ;-)
I've got them rolling in the aisle.
Probably because they won't swear an oath on the Bible that they actually walked on the Moon.
well it’s the moonlanding denying old crank come to class! LOL!!!
