Word For The Day, January 22, 2013

---

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".

lollygag [lah-lee-gag, lal-ee-]

-vi

1. to spend time idly; loaf.
2. to indulge in kisses and caresses; make love; neck.

[1625–35; < Latin fatuus silly, foolish, idiotic; see -ous]

[SoothingDave]

Up and at ‘em.

[NeoCaveman]

Definitions one and two seem to be at odds with eachother.

[ConorMacNessa]

With the current Regime in place, Conservatives have no excuse for lolligagging - now is the time to put our hands to the wheel and focus our minds on retrieving what has been lost over the past half-century.

[left that other site]

I spent too much time lollygagging on definition #1, to have time for definition #2.

[SoothingDave]

Kissing and caressing are hardly productive activities. (Though they could be re-productive.)

[ConorMacNessa]

I agree. I have never heard the word applied to definition two.

[SoothingDave]

It was a surprise to me as well, but there it is in the dictionary.

[NeoCaveman]

Not criticizing just saying who ever came up with definition #2 must be doing it wrong. lol.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Bill Clinton, wed to an unjolly hag
Got the urge to engage in some dolly tag
He questioned Miss Monica
“Can you blow a harmonica?”
While he wondered, perhaps, would a lolly gag?

[ConorMacNessa]

Excellent, Truth! I heard Monica played a mean pork trombone as well.

[SoothingDave]

I thought she was Jewish.

[NeoCaveman]

Just not kosher.

My lollygagging in the caribe is over. It's COLD back here in obamaland. We were in HELL yesterday. It's a kitschy little place. The proprietor of the gift shop wears a devil suit and walks around, he asked "where in the hell are ya from?" And we replied, we are from that other Hell aka Washington. Xshub rolled his eyes at me bc when the old island lady at the register asked I said DC -and she said oh they're swearing Obama in up there today and I, without missing a beat replied-- that's why we are here.... LOL! She said something like well everyone had their choices I guess. I'm sorry but I'm congenitally incapable of letting anyone have the impression I'm even indifferent to obams!!

[SoothingDave]

It was 6 degrees this morning when I started my car. With ten below wind chills. Don’t tell me “cold.”

Kids had a 2 hour delay. Probably same deal for tomorrow.

Its cold outside,
There’s no kind of atmosphere,
I’m all alone,
More or less.
Let me fly,
Far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

I want to lie,
Shipwrecked and comatose,
Drinking fresh,
Mango juice.
Goldfish shoals,
Nibbling at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

At the inauguration, Obama asked Bill “How is hillary’s head?”
Bill replied, “Well, she’s no monica!”

[secret garden]

One of my best friends is named Lolly.

[secret garden]

That’s funny! It’s below freezing here again and we hate it. I want to live someplace that doesn’t go below 40.

[secret garden]

Is that an inaugural poem? I heard it was awful but I stayed away from all TV and twitter related DC stuff yesterday because I have a strong gag reflex.
