Word For The Day, Monday, 7/30/12

;


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".

footle; noun/verb

1. nonsense; foolishness; silliness. 2. to act or talk in a foolish or silly way.

Etymology: "to trifle," 1892, from dial. footer "to trifle," footy "mean, paltry" (1752), probably from Fr. se foutre "to care nothing," from O.Fr. foutre "to fuck," from L. futuere, originally "to strike, thrust" (cf. confute). But O.E.D. derives the Eng. dial. words from foughty (1600), from Du. vochtig or Dan

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....

So if Paul McCartney joined The Foo Fighters, they would be The Footles.

You probably didn’t venture too far into VA, prob not beyond Arlington Cemetary stop, and with VA being a pivotal state in the presidential eleciton, it’s seeing a lot of activity. Maryland as a blue state is irrelevant. and DC doesn’t vote, so...
Glad you had a good time and that people were nice to you. DC is an extremely clean city, it’s always more noticeable to us when we come back from somewhere else.

You know I hate to be impolitic, but if you know SG was going to be in town you should have stayed home.

That’s as rude as routinely driving up I95 and not saying hi.

The South Korean chicks were doing a rub after the ass pat, like they were on a third date.

It was a little odd.

I made that very same point on our last thread. And it’s “Destinee” like a Frenchie.

No truth to the rumor that her middle name is “Colon.”

OV has been positively sappy about his girlfriend, while over at the Olympics. xsbaby just sent me this little tidbit of speculation. I saw all his tweets and thought he seems pretty gaga over her, but i did not notice the ring.

Actually the Allman Bros and Santana are at Merriwether Post Pavilion tonight, i gave a passing thought to going, but it’s IN maryland and that venue requires a slog in from a farflung lot and massive traffic to get out, so no way it’s worth it.

Can’t get there via Metro? I’m telling you, we loved riding the trains to get around. It beats driving and paying bookoos to park.

She’s pretty. Can we all agree tank tops on men are too gay for words?
