Word For The Day, Monday, 4/30/12

;

---

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".

Bemuse;transitive verb CLICK THE WORD FOR PRONUNCIATION

: to make confused : puzzle, bewilder 2: to occupy the attention of : distract, absorb 3: to cause to have feelings of wry or tolerant amusement — be·mus·ed·ly \-ˈmyü-zəd-lē\ adverb — be·muse·ment \-ˈmyüz-mənt\ noun

Etymology: "to make utterly confused," from be- + muse (cf. amuse), attested from 1735 but probably older, as Pope (1705) punned on it as "devoted utterly to the Muses."

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....

If given a choice I would never give my business to any liberal. Nice or not, I would have to think he or she was an idiot to believe the dem line. I can easily side with you on this particular business closing.

i did not say he was @jpod, now, did i? no, i did not.

Nice one! You’d have to fight my husband for a place in line - he’s been working out of state on a big project so I haven’t seen him much for the past few months!

[SoothingDave]

So there is, in fact, a line? LOL

I’m having technical difficulties this AM, so y’all can just hold in there till I get it fixed.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh! You get a “nicely done” too..... but technically, if there was a line it wouldn’t matter - my husband wouldn’t ever end his turn! ;^)
