Word For The Day, Thursday, May 2, 2013 – panegyric


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".

panegyric; noun. a lofty oration or writing in praise of a person or thing; eulogy. 2. formal or elaborate praise.Origin: 1590–1600; < Latin, noun use of panēgyricus of, belonging to a public assembly < Greek panēgyrikós, equivalent to panḗgyr ( is ) solemn assembly ( pan- pan- + -ēgyris, combining form of ágyris gathering; cf. category) + -ikos -ic



The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

You could always poke little holes in the egg to remove the contents to eat-just like you do to make cascarrones for Easter-wash and dry the shell carefully, then bronze it or otherwise decorate and enshrine it...

Who me?

I agree that it could be done, but not by me. I’ll run it by the wife and daughter.
