Word For The Day, January 29, 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".
couthie [koo-thee]
-adj
agreeable; genial; kindly.
[171525; couth2 + -ie, spelling variant of -y1]
I couldn’t understand about half of what he said but loved the digs at the Ravens taking mug shots..... and asking why Ray keeps crying on the field. lol
my coworker from Pgh says he may have to root for the Ravens just bc if SanFran wins, the Steelers will not be the only team with 6 superbowl wins. i am sure Soother must’ve figured that angle out too.
xshub thinks it’s remarkable that that stabbing death is STILL unsolved and RayRay’s white suit, worn that night, has never been found.
I’m with xshub on that one.
Yes, of course. I tweeted that night that the choice in this Super Bowl is like being asked to choose between a sharp stick in the eye or a badger attacking your nether regions.
There really should be no option here. SF can win a 6th, but we were still first. On the other hand, the Ravens winning anything is a travesty. It’s a smear on our record that they were allowed to win one at all.
he’s long had a hate on for Ray Lewis, never could figure out why he’s so popular, thinks he’s over-rated and would always just pile on after a hit and come up mugging like he was crucial.
If dude’s gonna be crying cause he’s retiring (an acceptable thing under man law), he might as well cry cause he lost!
LOL! good point!
LOL......I asked some questions too....Hillary, did climate change contribute to your limp hair on your many travels? #AskState
My girl friend’s husband is cheating on her, what should she do? #AskState
Hillary, do you have any good chocolate chip cookie recipes? #AskState
yep...I went straight to the heart of things. LOL I did enjoy browsing the questions there.
Good ones!
A couthie Obama is a myth
he’s surly without any mirth
he’s an arrogant one
likes to say he won
does he really have any kith?
I have an inquisitive mind. ;^)
Is couthie the opposite of uncouth?
For music lovers everwhere, I offer this video tracing the History of Music:
You’ll think it is in another language, but I pomise that you’ll be able to read it. Enjoy.
But couthie’s WAY better than cooties....
No, a completely unrelated word “couth” is the root.
Still, it sounds like something bad. If you called someone “couthie” in a bar, they’d probably punch you.
Eyew...COOTIES!
We are cheering for SanFran - two former Tech players on the team and I detest Baltimore.
As soon as I got home, I opened the windows to air out the house-it is 74 now, but getting cool again tomorrow...
Rubio and a few other guys
Have just stolen some thunder-
King Obama then had to tiptoe
So he wouldn’t trip or blunder
They simply grabbed the lead
While being couthie and nice-
Obama is redundant, no matter-
He just discovered the price
Of trying to upstage congress
On every issue that comes along-
Even some of his supporters
Appear tired of his selfish song
I don’t know exactly what happened, but it appears that some elected officials from both parties got tired of just being dragged along and remembered who sent them to DC and why...
I sort of liked “This Burning Heart”-and I still really like Whitesnake...
Was I right, then, that you knew it, but had completely forgotten it?
