Word For The Day, Monday, 1/9/12

;


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".

consternate; verb

verb (used with object), -nat·ed, -nat·ing. to dismay, confuse, or terrify. to fill with anxiety, dismay, dread, or confusion

Etymology:1645–55; < Latin consternātus, past participle of consternāre to unsettle, throw into confusion, perhaps intensive derivative of consternere to cover, spread (with) ( con- con- + sternere to strew; compare stratum), though sense development uncertain

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....

We need Obama gone, that should be the objective. i am not entralled with ANY candidate, but the prospect of an unbridled, lame duck obams for 4 more should put fear in every conservatives heart.

Ron Paul is consternating the Republican faithful. Most of us don’t know why he is still in this race.

Moe Howard? Ron Howard? i am unfamiliar with the show. but wanted to say that Wegmans carries and my family has become enamored of Perry’s icecream, and the kids are wild for the Buffalo Sabres Top Shelf sundae flavor! Odd down here, but there was also a Blitzburgh Crunch flavor that was good, with a Steelers logo on it.

I wasn’t expecting the season to last much longer with the team as beat up as it was. Still, stunning.

Officiating has been crappy for many years. That was a bad call. But I don’t see how you can call it a fumble recovery after the whistle has been blown. So the non-replay was the right call.

But I figure the bad calls even out. A Bronco put a helmet-to-helmet hit on one of the Steelers and nothing was called. That would have cost Harrison or Clark $50,000.

Winter is notoriously bad. I cringe when he works a Jets game.

It’s not so much if they even out...When it goes bad you’d like to feel it was earned...

Bill Clinton loved interns who loved to fellate
George Bush looked for foes to eliminate
But Obama’s shortfall
Every move, big or small
Is designed, to a patriot, to consternate

Maybe it’s all Karmic payback for Bill Mazerowski. In 1960, I was a 12 year-old Yankee fan who lived less than a mile from Yankee Stadium. I still haven’t gotten over it.

And then there’s that whole Immaculate Reception thingie.

We had a legitimate goal called back on Saturday. It was called a goal on the ice, went to Toronto for review and they said it was kicked in. The goalie was the only one who had a foot near the puck! Outrageous, and luckily, it did not affect the outcome. Normally they cheer for the Russian guy when there is a bad call but this time they were chanting against Toronto. This is the second time in 2 weeks we’ve gotten bad calls from them, when the video is obvious. Something stinks in Canada.

If it’s any solace, Maz ran for county commissioner here about 15 years ago. And lost.

As for the Immaculate Reception, well. Look at the photo on this page:

There are statues of the two most momentous occasions in these parts to welcome visitors to our airport. They are George Washington kicking off the 7 Years War and nearly getting killed by Indians.

And the Immaculate Reception.
