Word For The Day, Monday, 9/16/13

;


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".

Abjure; verb

1. to renounce, repudiate, or retract, especially with formal solemnity; recant: to abjure one's errors. 2. to renounce or give up under oath; forswear: to abjure allegiance. 3. to avoid or shun

Etymology:1400–50; late Middle English < Latin abjūrāre to deny on oath, equivalent to ab- ab- + jūrāre to swear; see jury1

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
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....

I think this sums up how the US has abjured its international role.

You dont need to remove the toilet to snake.

You can go from the toilet,,,or failing that the outside cap.

I’m sure it will be fine. Scary. We had a guy come looking for his estranged wife (who works here) this spring, then started stabbing himself.

That’s how it should be done. They(the crazies) usually attack the right one last.

I know my strengths and weaknesses.

As Dirty Harry Callahan said in Magnum Force, "a man's got to know his limitations."

He came in right through the front entrance. The other entries have turnstiles that require a badge to open. They will likely put on there as well.

I wish that Congress would abjure the militarization of our federal agencies, and our local police too.

Everyone who voted for Owe-bama and doesn’t abjure that horrendous choice should be shot for treason.

The NYPD often effectively abjures the notion that "only the police should be armed".

Two bystanders struck by NYPD cops opening fire on suspect near Times Square

In their efforts to shoot an unarmed man who was "acting erratically" they manage to shoot two bystanders.
