Word For The Day, Tuesday, September 7, 2010
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".
animadversion [an-uh-mad-vur-zhuhn, -shuhn]
-n
1. an unfavorable or censorious comment
2. the act of criticizing
[1590–1600; < L animadversiōn- (s. of animadversiō ) a heeding, censure, equiv. to animadvers ( us ) (ptp. of animadvertere to heed, censure; see animadvert) + -iōn- -ion]
Well I guess the moral of this story is that the Pres__ent should never ever be allowed off teleprompter.
he was trying to be a homeboy yesterday to the unions and started talking in the vernacular.
Isn’t Animadversion the Ruler of Iran?
One of your best, in a huge collection of excellent works!
Or as he would say, all wee-weed up, whatever that means.
I think the problem with this phrase is that so many people routinely cuss these days that something like “talking about me like a dog” has been largely forgotten. It is a very common phrase, or was. It used to mean really low down - of course that was back before dogs were so pampered I guess. Hey, maybe it means he is placed on a pedestal and pampered?
I’m sorry but the fact that you even asked which gender immediately put you into a skirt
there are a zillion freepers convinced it has everything to do with him being a muslim which is just preposterous!
the soother’s inner-crossdresser peeped out there... ; )
I guess they didn't have many muscular guys at your college Dave
Well that is just silly - and again obams goes off teleprompter and says something weird. I hope this gives him the courage to do so again because usually it blows up in his face...oops does this mean I want something to blow up around him? Am I going to be accused of hoping he goes down with the ship? Oh gads, another one, do I want him to drown or just return to Man’s Country for the “down” part.....
No, I was asking her what she was thinking of. After 26 years of marriage you should know by now that men have no idea what women are thinking of. ;-)
My husband knows what I’m thinking about. ;^)
Can your team please keep Haynesworth up there? We really don’t need him back in this town, stomping on player heads and driving like an idiot paralyzing people. He’s a cancer in the locker room as well.
Do you mean the redskins? is he the fat one?
Yes, lots of muscular guff guys. Arm-in-arm with sun-tanned co-eds in bikinis, heading to the beach. LOL.
Really, and which beach would that be in Pittsburgh?
Why, thank you, Whyisa!
Where?
