Word For The Day, Tuesday, January 24, 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".
hypophora
-n
Hypophora, also referred to as anthypophora or antipophora, is a figure of speech in which the speaker poses a question and then answers the question.
When the Israeli relief pitcher got the last out of the championship game by inducing a lazy fly ball to center field, the team celebrated by doing the hy-pop-hora.
Caps fans have no problem with OV’s suspension, but Michalek himself did the same damn thing to someone else minutes later and got squat. Even fans of other teams have found fault with that.
and it amuses me that people think there is some Caps news item that i might miss, when that’s really not likely. and all anyone really wants to do is have me see the news item through their own biased source’s prism. Here’s a tip: i am most likely NOT interested in seeing what YOUR fans/bloggers/media sources etc. have to say about my team : )
Well, pardon me for bringing up a touchy subject.
i’m not touchy abaht it. did you honestly believe there was some nugget of info in that of which i was unaware? no, you wanted a chance to rag on one of our players by way of one of your own fansites.
yes, but the homilies do not have to wait till then. they can happen this whole year until Nov
xshub must have enjoyed the SU win last night!
i assume you mean the basketball win, but the SU hockey team beat Ithaca College 10-0 and xsboy scored his first collegiate goal and also had an assist : ) so yes, two good SU wins last night!
Of course I knew you were aware. And of course I wanted to rag on your superstar.
It’s not a hockey site, just the jagoff of the day.
I am gonna kick myself if they played at Ithaca! Congrats to xsboy!
Good for him!
I’m assuming that’s clever if one knows Hebrew or Yiddish.
No, it was home, luckily, bc the game was at 9:30 pm last night. He texted me about his goal at midnight!
speaking of jagoffs, did you see the new Pittsburgh Dad about the Ravens loss? i tweeted it to yinz.
Congrats to xshockeyplayer
let me explain it, and i don’t speak either: high Pop [fly balls] HORA is the israeli dance they do in a circle to havanaghili.
where you been?? enlarging your apocalyptic bunker? ; )
I didn’t click the link cause I only had my phone when I saw it.
i don't know, Truthy, did i misspeak? is it Cuban jews that do that dance? ; )
i love him, but that laugh track is cheezy as all get aht!
