Word For The Day, Monday, 1/30/12
;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".
redound; verb [used without object]
1. to have a good or bad effect or result, as to the advantage or disadvantage of a person or thing. 2. to result or accrue, as to a person. 3. to come back or reflect upon a person as to honor or disgrace (usually followed by on or upon ).
Etymology: 1382, "to overflow," from O.Fr. redonder "overflow, abound" (12c.), from L. redundare "to overflow" (see redundant). Meaning "to flow or go back" (to a place or person) is from 1382; hence "to rebound" (c.1500), and "to contribute to" (the credit, honor, etc.), c.1500.
example: Thomas Hobbes Leviathan: "So that the effect which redounds to one man, by another man's defect of right, is but so much diminution of impediments to the use of his own right original."
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....
it’s still the primary, we are entitled to make our own picks.....ABO in the end, but it’s hardly over.
Are you that helpless that you don’t know how to search, or do you just not care? ;-)
no one said it was. everyone is entitled to make their picks, for sure. it’s the i’m-more-conservative-than-thou bc i’d never vote for Romney meme that irks me. the point is— conservative minds can differ on strategy in this war.
well i DEF don’t care, and i can probably find it if i search for it, now that i have actually SEEN the offending semi-colon, but just in the offchance that it IRKS YOU, i’m leaving it : )
I’ve seen none of those, but I did watch “Chasing Amy” in the airport yesterday. Did you get your Kevin Smith movies?
U have lived to age 40 whatever you are and not seen It’s a Wonderful Life? is your TV ever turned on at Christmas? i swear it’s on every channel. And i have the movies, but forgot to watch them. Will have to do that.
who in the hell is she hoping to attract with that stuff? Nancy boy Obams is more likely to want to borrow them to dress up for Reggie Love than he is to be turned on by her wearing it!
one of the comments after the article suggested she was buying to impress a new lover, cause she wouldn’t bother with spending that much to impress BHO....just ridic to imagine.
I’ve seen numerous parodies of various scenes from the movie. But, no haven’t ever watched it. I did see Miracle on 34th street.
Watched “Shaun of the Dead” the other night with Sarah. She used the word “zombocalypse”.
wonder if her supposed secret service lover was there?
OMG......just read Fr. De Celles homily......I am so starved for a good homily....my heart is restored just reading it.
Read the other guys too, it’s also good. My baptist SIL said it gave her chills she was so moved.
It is 58 and drizzling here-and fog is closing down already, too. I had a sandwich from the local deli and a grapefruit for late lunch-I’m not going to be hungry again today, so it will be a fine evening to feed my pets early and curl up with them in the kitchen in front of the TV, computer or with a book as soon as I go drag in and cut up some wood...
Michelle Antoinette has been shopping
At an exclusive lingerie boutique-
These screw-ups will redound on her
And that is nowhere near unique
She probably does have a hot lover-
And I don’t blame her for that
But even after spending 50 thousand
Her ass is still obviously fat
I think when she leaves next January,
We should sell all of her tacky stuff-
Some Latin dictator’s mistress might
Have the cash and be tasteless enough
I’m in complete agreement with you on the fingers-in-ears thing on the political attacks-it is starting to get too close to mass hysteria for my liking-I’m also keeping my own counsel and not contributing to it-there is too much at stake to be a bombthrower.
Hilarious A++++ !
I’m curled with mine in front of the fireplace now. Just got off the treadmill. Had a frustrating day at work and needed to work that off. I feel infinitely better. Jules starts school next week!

Thank you! It is not cool enough for a fire-nearly 60 out and getting warmer as a tropical front approaches with more rain. I’m here in the kitchen alcove with Husky girl on one of her pet beds munching a rawhide rollup chew that smells faintly horrid. Three of the cats are in baskets by the china cabinet and TV, and Titus is in my chair, snoring and dangling his paws over my leg.
many dog treats smell AWFUL!! mine were threatening to murder each other over a chewy.
I looked at the package that one came from, and it says rawhide rollup treats for dogs-beef and chicken flavored. They are round, dark and light rawhide like pinwheels and about 2 1/2 inches across-Husky girl loves them better than any other treat, and they do not smell like chicken or beef...
