Word For The Day, February 12, 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".

expostulate [ik-spos-chuh-leyt]

-vi

to reason earnestly with someone against something that person intends to do or has done; remonstrate

[1525–35; < Latin expostulātus demanded urgently, required (past participle of expostulāre ). See ex-1 , postulate]

[SoothingDave]

Fat Tuesday ping.

Ben Carson expostulated thewon on Obamacare. It's about time someone did. Hero:

[xsmommy]

should you be shriven?

[SoothingDave]

No. Fun today, shriving over the next 6 weeks.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

What will Barry say? Easy to speculate
Against our way of life, he’ll expostulate
For the socialist way
Gay marriage? Okay!
If I watch, I’ll drink Scotch to inoculate

[xsmommy]

I think expostulation is what spooked the BSA. Father DeCelles has gone on record as saying that the BSA will be gone from St Raymonds if they go gay, he said "no more dealing with the devil."

[SoothingDave]

They’re going to start having a weekly Latin Mass in Latrobe. First and only one in the diocese. I’ll have to check it out.

[xsmommy]

you can see Fr. DeCelles here and read all of his columns. He is just excellent.

[xsmommy]

That’s very cool. I think that its Pope Benedict’s influence that has caused the proliferation of Latin masses. I am so disgusted with the slime that i am seeing thrown at him. It’s just awful.

[xsmommy]

Do they say the prayer to St Michael after Mass at your church? They say it at daily mass at st james, but not at holy rosary. Fr. DeCelles always says it at the end of Mass.

[SoothingDave]

No, after Mass we all leave. When do they say this, before or after the dismissal and closing hymn?

[tioga]

A lot of our African priests say the Hail Mary during mass after we pray for others. I have seen it with several of them. The whole church joins them. No prayers to St. Michael here.

[tioga]

I like this guy. He got arrested when he made a joke to his wife over the peanut butter the TSA was inspecting. He's suing for $5mil. Hope he wins. here

It is not necessary to watch The Won expostulate tonight. It's the closing night of The Wesminster Dog Show, and they lead off with the Sporting Dogs -- 7 pm Central and 8 PM Eastern.

I'll be watching and rooting for the Golden in memory of my beautiful, departed Max. Yesterday I had an eery experience. I live on 12 acres and I don't see other people's animals here EVER. Yesterday a large dog crossed my backyard TWICE. Max would never have allowed that. The dog was just romping in the snow -- first far from the house and then closer on his 2nd pass. It was like a message, but I don't know from whom, or what it meant. I keep staring out of the window waiting for that phantom dog to return.

[xsmommy]

after dismissal and prior to the closing hymn.

[xsmommy]

yes, i have seen priests pray the hail mary during the prayers of the faithful, it’s not routine, but it’s done.

[xsmommy]

it's an excellent prayer, i highly recommend it:

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

I meant to add that the dog show is on the USA channel. In fact the first half is showing this morning — right now. I think that half is also on USA, although it originally aired on CNBC last night. The first half was the Hounds, Toy, NonSporting, and Herding breeds.
