Word For The Day, Tuesday, Date7/17/12
;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".
cozen; verb
to cheat, deceive, or trick
Etymology: 1565–75; perhaps < Old North French coçonner to resell, verbal derivative of coçon retailer (< Latin coctiōnem, accusative of coctiō, cōciō dealer), influenced by Middle French cousin dupe, literally, cousin
.
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....
[you can’t be]...talking bout my generation... ; ) [how long can we keep the WHO anthology going?]
stooopid. i doubt the regular joe in the street seeing Batman has even heard of Bain.
Your cozening heart will make you weep
You’ll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won’t come the whole night through
Your cozening heart will tell on you
a country song? of course! ; ) A+++
I think I’ve come down with a bad case of quadrophenia
You might say, non-Kissin’ Cozens…
Obama’s Muslim duty is to cozen the Infidel population of the U.S. to Islam’s true intentions.
Is it still Monday or is Dave still on vacay?
A+++
Checking in late from CA. Obama cozened a whole generation into voting for him in 2008. The question is: will he be able to cozen them again in 2012 to insure a 2nd term. B**turd!
dave was on a plane home at 8:00 am, he asked me last week to cover for him today.
Rush just mentioned the bane/bain thing and batman.
does he think it’s going to be a factor? while there may be bad intent there on the part of the movie people, i can’t imagine it’s going to influence any potential romney voters. my 26 yo niece who is visiting said she doesn’t think there is remotely the enthusiasm to vote for him among her age group that there was the last time. and my 18 yo nephew’s girlfriend is from a union goon dem family in Warren. So he said to her, well you just won’t vote then right? and she said yeah, she wasn’t going to vote. : ) he considers that good enough. my brother’s kids are all on the right page. my niece is irked because her husband is blind, and the poll watcher teases her about her voting TWICE instead of casting her husband’s vote. she said he says it every time, and she probably could make an issue of it as being potentially harassing. What, she should not cast his vote for him but rather let some Ohio leftist pollwatcher cast his vote?
Bane is a Batman character from years ago. It has nothing to do with this election.
I’m home, safe and sound. Waiting for the A/C to bring the temps down.
We lost one goldfish during the trip. Still have the one from Memorial Day last year.
One of my favorite Who songs-I turn it way up-
The bomb throwing politics
That have now entered the race
Are happening because Obama
Has nothing else for the chase
He can’t run on the record
He’s used to cozen the dumb-
Some of those captive voters
Are no longer under his thumb
Now that they’ve seen the light
And left the bolshevik bus
They need to vote for sanity
And work like the rest of us
I know it is a coincidence.
And if anything he’s more of an occupy type.
