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....

Well, the democrat-socialist-communists couldn’t conquer the US from without, so they got in behind and are doing the from within the government and universities: right effront’reyes in fact.

And the nation’s news media are leading the effort.

That might be a mistake. :)

“She had the extreme effrontery to wear a revealing low-cut dress at the formal business gathering.”

What!!! A WFTD and no example picture!

Then again, are you sure gabz didn't have that dress on backwards? 8<)

He had the effrontery to die in office. Oh well, it is the term limit of last resort.

‘Effrontery’ is the Gentile version of ‘Chutzpah’.

I finished watching AD last night. It didn’t really have an ending or tie together any of the various plots.

I did like how you some of the scenes became more sensible when you saw them from another character’s perspective.

It was OK, but failed to have an overarching logic. They tied everything into the hotel with the various events going on and to Cinco de Quatro, but there was nothing there.

Is it supposed to be a mystery what happened to Lucille 2?

We’re to believe that Lindsey and Tobias were sitting in adjacent rows on a plane and didn’t see each other?

How does pretending to build a wall make the case for not building a wall?

With all that investment, couldn’t they actually hire people to make Fakeblock real?

I understand the limitations that had to work with in terms of shooting the cast as different times. It’s just that the ride was as time enjoyable but there was no destination.

Like Steve Holt, it’s better days were years ago.
