Word For The Day, Monday, June 3, 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”.
effrontery; noun shameless or impudent boldness; barefaced audacity: She had the effrontery to ask for two free samples. 2. an act or instance of this.
Etymology: from French effronterie, from Old French esfront barefaced, shameless, from Late Latin effrons, literally: putting forth one's forehead; see front ]
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....

WFB’s attempt to emulate us ; ) No pushing at the door please!
Here is my example with WFTD.
IRS officials in Cincinnati are wondering how Obams et.al have the effrontery to lay all the blame on them.
come to class one and all!
i have PT and will be back in an hour. When I get back, there better be butts in seats and homework on my desk!
Do you actually have the effrontary to demand homework from us while you are out the door? I’m going to go mow the grass.
Ooooops! That’s effrontery, not effrontary.
Our gif disapparated! Sorry that the regular mail template didn’t process like it should have!
One of my favorite words. This one was on one of my weekly 12th-grade English vocabulary lists back in the day. The Obama Administration is full of it.
How adorable! What breed is your puppy?
My friend has a pair of “Hava-Malts” who look just like your pup. They are half Havanese and half Maltese and just as cute as buttons. They are far different from her previous two dogs — a German Shepherd and a Yellow Lab. The Hava-Malts are like cats and never seem to sit still. However, 2 Hava-Malts can run around and not be annoying. Not the same as big dogs at all.
Posting a non-existent picture is an effrontery...
He just has the one front paw? ;-)
"She had the extreme effrontery to wear a revealing low-cut dress at the formal business gathering."
He just has the one front paw? ;-)

The ultimate effrontery.
Adorable!
Awe, your puppy is beautiful!
I felt that the original blame game of saying two rogue employees did all the damage might work because they could easily offer those two some cushy job to keep silent...but 80 IRS agents will be harder to control. Hoping this goes somewhere!
A friend of mine had the effrontery to tell me that every penny of debt that obama has added since his coronation is purely because of Bush and his policies. I told her she’s a bigger fool than I ever thought. I don’t think she’s gonna gimme some any more. Hell, that works better then Costanza’s “IOt’s not you, it’s ME” line.
It is pretty amazing how many liberals believe that line....they aren’t the brightest you know.

That's where the word chutz-paw comes from.
LOL!
And sort of like a fox-paw?
