Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

What Star Parker says here sounds great, but i am worried it is just phatic

The business leadership looked at us in phatic disbelief as we rattled off a litany of acronyms while describing the outage over the weekend.

good morning. Prayers up for Cuccinelli/Obenshain/Jackson tomorrow here in VA.

Phatic - the “bedroom” where you keep your obese aunt.

(must be pronounced “ont” in this definition, for some reason)

Phatic

When she says ,”Do these jeans make me look phatic?” then those jeans should have stayed in the attic!

This phatic point needs to be emphasized over and over.

Now that the “I” word is phatic
(Impeachment, if I must be emphatic)
Will the RINOs join in?
No, they’ll let Barry win
So afraid of creating some static

[SoothingDave]

Isn’t it customary to give a definition?

I read through the thread and forgot to say good morning

See the following for a better definition of “phatic”.

obama should stick to phatic expressions, since any information that he’s trying to convey is false!

Here’s hoping that the voters in VA will gather their wits to save themselves from total disaster...

Now that the drive-by media
Has become somewhat phatic
On Obamacare’s failed debut
They seem even more erratic

But upon closer inspection
Perhaps that is too kind
A term for media lemmings
Losing their collective mind

Schizophrenic is a better fit-
As in one sentence they deride
Obamacare’s useless website, but
Still kiss his feet with pride...

"Tooo phat--ick!"
