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


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".

desideratum; noun plural de·sid·er·a·ta [dih-sid-uh-rey-tuh, -rah-, -zid-] something wanted or needed. Etymology: desideratum (1650s), from L., lit. "something for which desire is felt," from pp. stem of desiderare "to long for" (see desire).



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....

Inflicting pain on selected (primarily Right-leaning) groups is a desideratum of the Leftists during the current Government shutdown ... the Gestapo-like tactics of otherwise "furloughed" Federal employees, coupled with the rudest Media treatment possible is a dream suited ideally to these Alinskyites. It was simply despicable to see our honored, hardly-amused, tired Veterans treated so shabbily in light of their service to the Nation; even some Democrats, unlike our POtuS who was pouty & childishly immature, sided with the vets in their efforts to bring down the "Barrycades." This scenario reminds us that we should continue to be vigilant, politically active and well-armed: duties we owe to our fellow citizens and future generations of Americans.

I’ll never forget hearing this on “Doctor Demento,” with Melissa Manchester singing in the background “You are a fluke of the universe; you have no right to be here . . . “

I think Linda Ronstadt's version is the best.

Agree 100%.

I have an “almost 3” year old, and he asks “what’s for dzjhert?”

I figured I’d get a late reply on that one...
sometimes you have to stew in my humor for a while before it clicks.
