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: 192025; < 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....
Thank you for the kind wishes. I’ll pass them on to her.
Looks like The Netherlands will have a new king, my niece just arrived there this month for a semester of school. Should be an exciting time for her. She has been taking some beautiful pictures.
Indeed I have!
While that is in the perception of the listener, I can think of an even more tasteless tune-Bloodrock’s “DOA”. My neighbor up the hill had it blasting from his workshop when I emerged from the woods one Saturday morning. When I made a face and shivered, he said he liked it and why didn’t I, since I liked heavy rock? I said I’d just never been that stoned.
That guy has a dark outlook on life, anyway-he is a melancholy Dane in both his ancestry and attitude...
Puddle of Mudd ripped them off years later with their “she f**** hates me”
Well, I’ll bring you a hair band one-hit wonder tomorrow that I’m sure you had forgotten about completely.
Ping to Polska pals for this oldie but goodie ; )
Some of my favorite songs were made by one hit wonders...

Oh it’s going to be cool this weekend - 70/71 with lows in the 50’s! Bring a sweater.... ;^)
Wait until your SIL starts telling you about Xuanelle X.... he’s our muslim race baiter and shows up with his guards when there is a black person accused of anything.
i’ll have to ask if she’s heard of him yet...
Sorry, that first X should have been a Q...it would be silly to be called xuanelle X but of course not silly to be called quanelle x..... I think his name is something like John evans or something equally normal
Ok his “real” name is quanelle Ralph Evans. so at least he didn’t make up the entire name. lol Wiki says he is the leader of the new black panther party in houston - that explains a lot. The funniest part is he doesn’t live in the ghetto that he claims to represent - he lives in a nice subdivision south of Houston
