Word For The Day, Tuesday, January 3, 2012
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".
fusty{FUHS-tee}
-adj
1. Having a stale smell; moldy; musty.
2. Old-fashioned or out-of-date, as architecture, furnishings, or the like.
3. Stubbornly conservative or old-fashioned; fogyish.
[Fusty comes from the Old French word fust, meaning a “wine cask.” As wine casks are stuffy and smelly, the adjective is a logical association.].
You are thinking of Ithaca where they have Ithaca College and Cornell University. Crazies up there.
After imbibing many glasses of whine from Obama’s licker-fueled media, is it any wonder that most voters feel all fusted up over the repubbie “selection” process?
Oh, thank you twice-wrong City of Evil...
Oh, thank you twice-wrong City of Evil...
A 25 minute drive due north from me. Beautiful area with the falls and all. Sadly, it’s overtaken with liberals.
Fillies. They all have a mare at home.
Oops! Well, I did say “twice”...
the are outdoing themselves in their lunacy....the liberal crazies will do and say anything.
True-I was comparing to horse ranches where one stallion is kept to service a number of mares.
That is so ridiculous-all I could think of was chicken little running around screaming that the sky was falling. Good for your bro for smacking the lunatics down.
I know I am all “wee wee-ed up” !! LOL
I’m surprised, not really, that no one is tying the Paul surge at least in part to the signing of the creepy NDAA.
I think it’s got people asking “OK who gives a damn about the bill of rights?” Answer: “just the kook”. response “fine, I’m going with the kook, I guess.”
I thought that was the successor to the NCAA?
And Ohio State’s Tatoo’d Five have been detained indefidently....
There is a similar word that I remembered seeing when I saw the WFTD-fustian-it usually refers to a type of cloth described in books about/written before the 20th century.
I know it has been said already but, Old Crusty is fusty.
Yeah I understood all of that - and it is probably a good practice not to risk someone this late in the process. Sort of like playing Matt Flynn and hoping GB would win, then Flynn sets some kind of amazing record of 6 td’s in one game... lol
Looking like Rick,mittens,Ronny.
It’ll, Santorum = Huck. Romney, still Mr. 23%. Paul, not a factor anywhere ele.
Huge night for Santorum, but....better night long run for Newt,Perry.
It’s a fair argument that nearly half of Iowa voted for the extreme ends of the party, Mitt the lib, and Paul.
Santorum,nriding the crest of religiosity that propelled Huck to a win, but didn’t play as well elsewhere.
For now it’s a 3 man race for the not mittens
so Romney wins by 14 votes? wake me when it’s over. I can’t take anymore. Had to listen to my dem driver tonight rattling on and on.........Obama’s gonna wipe the floors with any one of our losers........is it fair to slap a guy with only one eye? he wouldn’t see it coming.....or should I am for the side with the eye that works to make it fair? hmm.
