Word For The Day, Monday, 4/11/11
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".
congeries;n
a collection of items or parts in one mass; assemblage; aggregation; heap: From the airplane the town resembled a congeries of tiny boxes
Etymology:1610–20; < Latin: a heap, equivalent to conger- (stem of congerere to collect, heap up, equivalent to con- con- + gerere to bear, carry) + -iēs noun suffix; compare rabies, series
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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Budgets are congeries of policy decisions, but bottom line is we can't cut fast enough to keep up.
IBTP!
Oh, congeries. For a second I thought it was about eels. Again.
Close to IBTP!
From the purview of the electorate, our government resembles congeries of crime inc. and their extended faamilia.
I like chili con geries — con mucho geries.
Obamacare is a congeries of socialist ideas that are certain to destroy the best health care system in the world.
ITEGTBAP?
(is there even going to be a ping?)
Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign is a congeries of seemingly benign and beneficial healthy activities that is actually the first move in a stealth effort to gain total state control over the bodies of Americans.
The congeries of left-wing losers in Congress continuously and conveniently congratulate themselves on neglecting one of their most basic duties—making sure that a candidate for President does, in fact, meet the eligibility requirements. They have now ceded that role to one Donald Trump, who is trying to find out if Barack Hussein Steve Soetoro Dunham Obama was:
1. Born in the USA
2. Born to Run
3. Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee
4. Bourne (with no) Identity
5. Born Again (as somebody else)
6. Born to lose
Born a Ramblin’ Man
Born to Boogie
I would have added Borneo, but I am having trouble with my Java Script.
post 14 and in before the ping? LOL
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Born to Be Alive. Disco. Ugh.
What's with the newb posting a thread and not replying to any of the comments on the thread. Do we need to change IBTP to IBTZ?
It may be the 4 letter word keeping her from responding.
And don’t forget the “disco” offering by KISS - “I was Born for Lovin’ You Baby”.
