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....
If you’re watching these little gymnasts spin and twirl and wonder what it would look like if it all went horribly wrong, check out “Final Destination 5.” They have a scene where a small series of events leads to a gymnast landing neck first.

not a soul on the planet could.
One of our funny moments, and there were plenty, was when we walked up to the nighttime tour bus and saw we had an Asian driver. We all just looked at each other and waited until he was out of earshot.
He does play dirty and that irks me to no end when talented guys do that. You can understand a guy who doesn’t have the skills trying to find any edge but not the finesse guys. The ginger stole Pekka Rinne’s spot on the game cover. It would’ve been so cool to have a goalie on it.
Gingeroux was voted fair and square onto that game cover, because his hotness cannot be contained!
If you’re whining about getting hurt by Sid...you’re queer.
Do I just miss where our media points out these idiotic mess ups or do they just not air them in the US?

They were far too busy trying to make a brouaha by taking Romney’s Olympic prep comments wildly out of context...
A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.

Wonder what ole Mr.Zimmerman thinks about the Won giving the cold shoulder to Israel
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it disconcerting that the Republican Nominee, has after one trip, visited Israel more than the POTUS?
Yes, thanks to Jonah Leyrer, feel free to attribute any quote to Bob Dylan, with no need to have proof, just as he did in his book. He has since resigned from the New Yawker, now that he was called out for it.
