Word For The Day, Monday, 10/3/11
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".
paroxysm; noun
noun 1. any sudden, violent outburst; a fit of violent action or emotion: paroxysms of rage. 2. Pathology . a severe attack or a sudden increase in intensity of a disease, usually recurring periodically.
Etymology: 1570–80; earlier paroxismos < Greek paroxysmós irritation, derivative of paroxýnein to irritate. See par-, oxy-1 , -ism
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....
Get paroxysms of mirth reading FReeper threads.
I can’t really think of football players as “students”.
A+++ good to see you, moochy!
At the risk of butting in on the Target clothing-those outfits look like some afghans I’ve crocheted over the years that are lying around on chairs, beds and the sofa even as we speak...
I like the ripple cardigan in the middle but would pair it with solids, not more prints.
do you remember those back in our day? i can still picture the top i had that i wore on picture day in 7th grade, it was red/pink and black. i am sure i thought i was styling back then, but yikes!
I was afraid the link would take us to granny square vests, especially after I read T5’s post!
mood rings, snoods, what other hideousities of that epoch can we conjure?
How about a lime green leisure suit?
eeks
don’t you have something you should be doing?
Really? At my University they are still student athletes. Should I alert the NCAA? ;^)
So you want us to go back in time to the 80’s and make a financial correction? Are you high or do you just like to pontificate?
I caught a bit of part II last night. Thanks for reminding me - I’ll watch for the reruns
Exactly. They want to protest the man, but forget their man is the man now.
I don’t like the crooked stripes but have to admit I love the textured hose! I have hated the new nude leg look but love to wear a black skirt and black opaque hose in the winter. (or did in 1993)
i like black opaque hose as well, rarely wear nude hose.
Ahh another Market Ticker reader.
Good to meet you

Oh yes, I read the Market Ticker every day, and a place called Zero Hedge, too. I still don’t understand a lot of the squiggly line stuff and some of the abbreviations, but I am getting there. Did you see that Karl Denninger is going to be on the Dylan Ratigan show today??? I wonder when FOX is going to steal Dylan Ratigan from MSNBC.
ZeroHedge is a daily read for me too.
Yes, some of the abbreviations and other things seem to be for pro traders, which I am not.
Denninger on today? setting my dvr now.
