Word For The Day, Tuesday, December 13, 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".
peculate{pek-yuh-leyt}
-vt, -vi
to steal or take dishonestly (money, especially public funds, or property entrusted to one's care); embezzle.
[1740–50; v. use of peculate embezzlement (now obsolete) < Latin pecūlātus, equivalent to pecūlā ( rī ) to embezzle, literally, to make public property private + -tus suffix of v. action. See peculiar, -ate1].
yes, but STOIC, always stoic! that was the big deal with marrying an Italian. Much histrionics and drama. And OMG, the first dago funeral??? holy crap. i’m used to the “bawl quietly into your hanky” type funeral. His aunts were crying OUT. weird beyond belief. i feared a throwing onto the casket as it was being lowered moment....-
Laughed out loud at the funeral picture!
If the GOP can’t make hay out of this unemployment (and it going down because workers have left the labor force is nothing to trumpet), and Obama frustrating business with the NLRB and EPA and the pipeline non-decision, then they really are the stupid party.
I’m becoming resigned to the Romney eventuality. Newt will blow up at some time.
Newton Leroy Gingrich really does need to blow himself up because the ladies aren’t going to vote for the twice divorced guy. I checked with my focus group, it ain’t happening.
Am I the only one who really likes Newt for Veep?
Someone could ask him to elaborate some more on having little black school kids working scrubbing toilets.
That should have killed him there.
Peculate. As in boil.
My coffee pot has begun to peculate. Another cup, I speculate. Another and I’m certain late.
but wait, he signed the NO ADULTERY pledge! he’s turned over a new leaf, honest INJUN!
I was on a Corzine thread over the weekend and someone told me that his pants were down around his ankles when he crashed on the NJ turnpike while governor. OMG....I have been laughing ever since. Wonder how the bimbo was dressed...they didn’t say.
You and xshub are not alone, I concur.
Beer goggles....that’s IT! Me, too. I answered the phone when Newt called....listened to his whole spiel and spoke to the live person afterward. Told them I am not ready to donate to anyone, but that I am leaning Newt.
But we can surely beat Biden in 2016...
Yeah, it is too soon for me to have a rebound relationship after Cain.......
LOL.......I didn’t go all the way with Cain so I am immune.
IF my 90 yo MIL makes it to 2016, he has her vote.
Herm was on Hannity last night talking with sean about NEWT. we were like OMG this is so AWKWARD why is he on, he was a candidate 5 min ago, this is way too soon.
I read a tweet that someone had Ron Paul on a TV show and was asking him to critique Newt’s debate performance. Like “He’s a fellow candidate, not a pundit!” Hello?

You guys getting down with the Booty Wave?
OMG...too funny.
didn’t Trump do that already? and now he wants to host a debate? LOL
