Word For The Day, Friday, 9/9/11
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".
badinage;
noun 1. light, playful banter or raillery.
verb (used with object) 2. to banter with or tease (someone) playfully.
Etymology:165060; < French, equivalent to badin ( er ) to joke, trifle (verbal derivative of badin joker, banterer < Old Provençal: fool; bad ( ar ) to gape (< Vulgar Latin batāre; compare bay2 ) + -in < Latin -īnus -ine1 ) + -age -age
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....
xsgirls were screaming at me to mute it last night saying WHY are you watching this>? A+++ i wanted to see what he had to say, he didn’t say much but he said it frenetically and with a sense of urgency that appealed to his base.
I cut my finger and had to put a badinage on it....
My badinage for the day ;-)
BRAVO!! A++++
Any fear of your basement taking on water?
Happy Anniversary!
I’m not driving a truck.
i read that sentence mentally hearing the song lyric! LOL!
FR is not what it once was, though it was always rough and tumble with fights, the fights were more civil!~
What I don’t understand is how she knew my life has been meaningless and without a single act of worth for any other individual? She knows me better than anyone on earth.
“Id love to know what was really said.”
According to my secret sources it went like this:
Kerry: “First I grab the enemy by the arm like this and then I stick my finger in his nose like this”.
Paul: (speechless)
I live on the top of a hill, so I am all good. They have already evacuated Port Deposit, which is just 7 miles downstream from the Conowingo Dam. All that water flooding Binghamton? It has to pass through the dam. Our little church of St. Teresa of Avila is down on Main Street. I don’t know how high that water can get. I don’t think much beyond the basement got flooded in Agnes, (St. Agnes also a church in our parish) but I don’t know for sure since I was still a Western PA girl for Agnes. I remember my dad taking us to see the lock house flooded at the Allegheny and barrels from upriver coming over the dam. (The Conowingo Dam is different than the Allegheny dams....it is a hydro-electric dam, so all of the water has to pass through spill gates.)
I tried to read the speech, and it just got too f-—ing painful. Pass this! (Pass what? Platitudes??) Hermain Cain’s response was the best: “We waited 30 months for this??”
Hank Williams or George Thorogood?
From Milo’s soon to be written, subject not chosen, book:
“This is just one of those words that white men speak with forked forks says Henery, our resident Naitive American.
How so, I ask and Henery said BADINAGE could be a word like a metric wrench, it’ll fit at least three different nuts, none of them tite. Henery’s smart like that.
Here’s what he let on after we all promised to stop saying “How” to him.
BADIAGE could be bad spacing of BAD IN AGE (like Henery)
Or bad spelling of BAD IMAGE, (that’s Hernery too)
Or just BANAGE without the I ((Henery says the next person says “How!” to him will have lots of banages over both I’s) cause Henery is also big, r e a l big. Lots of millymeters to Henery.
happy anniversary!
pig latinage?
A+++ how are you doing GG??
sump pump was working last night, but i don’t hear it today, so it’s let up a bit. We have been checking and bc we are on a hill i think we should be ok.
But isn’t that just like a freeper, claiming to know your innermost thoughts, fears and motivations? i see it on the palinbot threads all the time! ; )
My SIL and i were remembering Agnes too, yesterday, that was the biggest flood in my memory, for sure. The speech was torturous!
