Word For The Day, Monday, 4/12/10
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".
bowdlerize; verb
1 : to expurgate (as a book) by omitting or modifying parts considered vulgar 2 : to modify by abridging, simplifying, or distorting in style or content
Etymology:
1830–40; after Thomas Bowdler (1754–1825), English editor of an expurgated edition of Shakespeare
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....
A++++++ that’s great!
A+++ he’s nuts sez sark ; )

I <...> to <...> <...> <...> <...> bowdlerize <...> my <...>.
Sure, it’s tragic and all. But most decent-sized companies have policies against putting all of their key employees onto one airplane.
Well that makes me feel all better, now.
Sarko is right.
<> <> <> ++
it was not a good idea. doesn’t mean that the russkies were not behind it in some way.
oh that shirtless hunk o man, vlad... LOL!
Not nearly as great as a little advance notice that you were gracing the area with your presence would have been!
JA.
did you see my post on the last thread about me asking about 6-7 people about street parking in manhattan and being told by every single one of them “i don’t know, i don’t drive” ? unreal!
so do you think he had the Poles whacked?
did you not glean from my posts that it was IMPROMPTU? i posted it as we decided— that instead of going straight home, since my FIL wasn’t feeling well enough for us to descend on him, we decided to detour and go home via Manhattan, since xsfrosh hadn’t been there since she was in a stroller and the Twin Towers still stood.
Yes...I was ROR at your surprise at that....
Healthcare: the libs try to bowdlerize
Hoping that we won’t familiarize
Ourselves with the facts
Now Obama attacks
Believing his rhetoric will mesmerize
Yes, I saw that it was impromptu.
Presuming you exited via the Lincoln Tunnel, the very next exit on the Turnpike puts you 7 minutes from our house.
dunno, but i wouldn’t be surprised.
Barack and Michelle, deeply committed leftists who are deeply ashamed of what they believe to be the egregiously venal nature of American life, have decided to bowdlerize it through Obamacare and executive order before euthanizing it.
