Word For The Day, Monday, 1/28/13
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".
sub rosa; nounc
confidentially; secretly; privately.
Etymology: 1920–25; < Latin sub rosā literally, under the rose, from the ancient use of the rose at meetings as a symbol of the sworn confidence of the participants
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....
A+++ amateur hour going on its fifth year
We got it. Fedgov didn’t open til NOON!! Schools all had two hr delay. The ridiculous thing is a forecast for mid60s tomorrow and weds!
No ma’am.
We’re going to get whiplash this week. Up to the 60s for a couple days, then back down to a high of 23 on Friday.
Quite a contrast with the 90s which saw song titles like “stink fist” by fuel and “dead and Bloated” by stone temple pilots. I just have to ROR.
That is H O R R I B L E ! ? !
But catchy.
My baby turns sweet 16 today!
our high will be around 45 the next couple of days. it’s all icy right now, though it’s expected to be up to 32 this afternoon.
What a beautiful tribute! My GF was a fire chief.
Can’t say I have.
WOW!!! That’s amazing! Happy day to her!
God, that is awful!
Happy birthday to your baby!
Oh, where is your sense of humor? It’s funny.
I baked her cake and wrapped the gifts and just need to know what she wants for dinner. I hope she doesn’t have a lot of homework tonight.
Awww, Happy Birthday to her!
