Word For The Day, Tuesday, April 12, 2011
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".
quab
-n
An unfledged bird; hence, something immature or unfinished.
[Cf. D. kwab eelpout, Dan. quabbe, G. quabbe, quappe, LG. quabbe a fat lump of flesh, and L. capito a kind of fish with a large head, fr. caput the head, also E. squab.]
Harvard and Oxford?! Good gracious, she’ll want to rule us!

Check this commercial out. This is the jagoff who was pushing the “sweatshop” charge a month or two ago, doing the unions’ bidding. Now he wants to run the whole county and claims he knows how to run a business and keep jobs.
There is one labor he has provided for steadily.
whoa, no i didn’t. So these couples are still together? i was out and came back. Mom had been on the nest in the closed garage, when i came in, dad came busting right in and alighted on the other garage door opener thingie. i guess he was worried he’d been shut out for a few hours.
Had lunch with her mom a bit ago, she’s going to work for the First Lady this summer. SO yeah, she’s already ruling us....
so bc he has a crapload of kids he thinks he can run the country?
obviously we wouldn’t be ponying up the $50k per year for Syracuse if we weren’t fairly confident that xsboy would have a job coming out. i guess if you have a kid at Harvard, you are banking that the name of the school is going to open doors for them. in my friend’s daughter’s case, it’s not only Harvard— she is well spoken, very intelligent and being half black, especially in this administration,doesn’t hurt. When my friend told me about her daughter’s WH job this summer, i raised my eyebrows and said, oh that’s nice... and she laughed [knowing our radically different politics] and said don’t worry, we will have you come to hang out with the Obamas, and i said, i’m sure she’s a lovely woman and left it at that! ROR!
That’s about it. Do you detect any accent in the way he says “county executive?”
Though his daughters do have an Amy Farrah Fawcett look going on. You don’t know who that is.
Amy Farrah Fowler, that is.
You were very polite. Is the Wookie going to try and get her to work out more? ROR!
cahnty ? yeah i heard it. and i thought they were sort of SECuppish.
OMG i didn’t think of that but she is on the hefty side!! ROR!
If you’re right, you’re right.
I remember seeing pictures of her and am afraid Big’un is going to want her to join Let’s Move!
Never heard of her, but I googled her and you’ve got a point.
I choose the one on the right. What do I win?
That’s their new version that runs ads on the bottom of the screen, isn’t it?
Looks like it. Not sure who their advertisers are.
