Word For The Day, Tuesday, May 29, 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".
logomachy [loh-gom-uh-kee]
-n
1. a dispute about or concerning words.
2. an argument or debate marked by the reckless or incorrect use of words; meaningless battle of words.
3. a game played with cards, each bearing one letter, with which words are formed..
[1560–70; < Greek logomachía. See logo-, -machy ]
Come and get it.
The mechs of the Logomachy strode pointlessly into the crowd during the speech of the Great Locutor as he opined that “Giant waleker mechs make everything better!”
Nevermind the casualties caused by spectators falling under the bruising locomotors of the mechs, the lettering of the tread leaving indelible words stomped into their flesh.
Most likely caused by people correcting the spelling or grammar of others on free republic.
If only so many didn’t sound like a Conseco tweet praising teachers.
Rather than attempt to navigate the logomachy of the lyin’ king’s birth certificate, let’s check out the eight social secirity numbers he is reported to have used.
logomachy
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
Did you see he wants to run for office now?
Idiocracy may have been the first documentary placed in the future.
Okay, so I had logomechs...
Your write.
Rex Nutting’s chart claims to decree
That Obama is the prince of fiscal sanity
Blamed all big spending on Bush
Pulled numbers out of his tush
Which led to several rounds of pure logomachy
I can't believe this stupid mistake.
Wow. that’s bad. if you can’t cross your Ts and dot your Is, you really should not be in office. Same with the repubs who didn’t make it to the republican presidential primary ballot in VA. no excuse for incompetence.
And did you know there is someone running to the LEFT of Jim Maroon in Alexandria/FallsChurch/Arlington in the Dem primary? how is there even any ROOM to the left of Jim Moran? how is he not on the furthermost edge of left wing insanity?
Thad is clearly one of the smarter members of Congress, which makes it all the more mind boggling.
Well, he does have a lifetime ACU rating of 12 so i guess that leaves a little room to the left, but not much.
He’s already admitted to being Cuban born, so at least no “President Conseco.”
I caught the end of Idiocracy on IFC the other night.
So? You know who was reportedly Kenyan born until 2007.
Inconceivable!
As you wish.
That does seem like an odd mistake a sitting politician would make - did you read the comments below the article? Seems some were unhappy with his work
Well, when ever you run for POTUS, even half heartedly, there is often blowback. Running probably cost Bob Dornan his Congressional seat back in the day.
