Word For The Day,Monday, 11/14/11
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".
verisimilitude; noun
1.the appearance or semblance of truth; likelihood; probability: The play lacked verisimilitude. 2.something, as an assertion, having merely the appearance of truth.
Etymology: 1595–1605; < Latin vērīsimilitūdō,equivalent to vērī(genitive singular of vērumtruth) + similitūdōsimilitude
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....
Why Thank You for the wonderful Grade!
Nice day for taking the top down.
thought you were trying to sell that? are you driving it around with a phone # and for sale sign???
Everything spoken by the Obama, Pelosi, Reid trio lacks verisimilitude.
you could generalize that to the entire Dem party~! A+++
No, just had it out to take some nice pictures of it at a nearby park. My b-i-l is going to advertise it, so wanted some more pictures.
You do need to run the car around every once in a while. We just spent good money getting it back into running shape because it had sat for a year or longer. I won’t let that happen again, even if it means I have to take it for a spin once a month or so.
you are out trolling for hot babes with it, i know ; )
Maybe apologist is too strong a word. Someone informed me, in a snarky sort of way, that he was innocent until proven guilty, and that a grand jury was NOT the same as a trial. Technically, that is true, but I just don’t feel like these are some unsubstantiated rumors or innuendos. The kids’ stories were all the same, and there were multiple witnesses, who testified under oath that they saw him doing this stuff.
I LUUUUUUUUV when people try to say that innocent until proven guilty applies across the board!! that applies in a courtroom. Rank and file people hearing the news are free to believe him guilty based on what they read and hear, and do so every day.
Yeah ... Nowadays, each and every one of every democrat’s press release toolkit contains some small version of the truth, but never anything verysimiliatude truth, da whole truth, and nothing but da truth.
A++ long time no see, robt.

(shudders in horror)
There is also no verisimilitude in the rumor that I am going to work today!
Get this: I have a friend from State College, and she says that Sandusky has been out and about town! Going to the mall, etc. What an absolute jackass! Hearing that convinces me that he is really really psychotic. (Not that what he did to those poor little boys wasn’t psychotic!) Going out in public just shows an absolute disconnect from reality. I read that he is maintaining his innocence. Really? Really? With MULTIPLE witnesses? I can only shake my head.
you are off?? good for you! yes, i think that HW example about the muslim show is perfecT! A+++
Someone did toss a brick through a window at his house, if that makes you feel any better. ;-)
De tangerine is veri simili tu de orange.
I heard it was a concrete block. And that DOES make me feel better. This is one case that I long for the return of vigilante justice!
Unlike Barack Obozo, I have a birth certificate with verisimilitude.
Only if it would have hit that sicko Sandusky.
They were showing highlights of the GJ pdf document on the news last night. If anyone doesn't think that, that whole thing rots from the top down, then they are living in denial.
My little admin girl (I am converting her from lib to conserve, one issue at a time) was in a bar and there were two guys in there with PSU sweats on, trying to pick a fight.
She shut them down with facts and told them that if they were the type to enable that rapist, they had proven exactly what type of men they were and she wanted nothing to do with them. Told them to quit speaking to her and they could go their way, she and her friend would go theirs. LOL! That's my girl!
