Word For The Day, Monday, 1/13/14
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".
diminution; noun
1. the act, fact, or process of diminishing; lessening; reduction. 2. Music. the repetition or imitation of a subject or theme in notes of shorter duration than those first used.
Etymology: 12751325; Middle English diminucion < Anglo-French diminuciun < Latin dīminūtiōn- (stem of dīminūtiō ), for dēminūtiōn- (stem of dēminūtiō ) (by influence of dīmunuere; see diminish), equivalent to dēminūt ( us ) (past participle of dēminuere, equivalent to dē- de- + minuere to lessen) + -iōn- -ion
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....
Dang it. Hit post too soon.
Issa is like a general with no army.
He’s doing Yeoman’s work...but with little public support.
i can’t answer that. we have no control over it. do you think railing on FR or twitter will get the TP to embrace christie? you’re delusional, if so. I asked one of my song pop pals, who is a conservative in RHODE ISLAND of all places, what he thought of Christie, and he said— too moderate, i don’t care for that obama-hugging hippo. and i asked if he would vote for him if he were the nominee and he said, yes, bc he would not vote for hillary the closet-dyke, but that there was a whole lot of time for something else to happen before then.
oh me too, truthy, me too! A++++
The deminution of my munition is directly proportional to the use of munitions in the deminution of my adversaries.
No idea. I commuted for many years and always kept my pants on. Except this one time, in band camp...
The diminution of my munition is directly proportional to the use of munitions in the diminution of my adversaries.
Sorry, F+ for spelling.
PERFECT. A++++
i don’t take off for spelling ; )
Because some guy wanted to see some girl with her pants off, so he invented a “thing” for the reason.
Why else?
so much unseemly just for that? 99% of what was exposed will scar people for life, who happen to view it.
the little japanese toddler is adorbs though.
It’s a simple point. People are reacting to the LiB medias advance assault.
Let me give an anecdotal example.
If he got as much coverage for shouting that teachers union wench down, TP would go apeshit.
Christies conservative problem, he can handle on the stump, and in the debates.
Been my only point all along.
Crap, no one knows jack shit about NJ governance...
Even me, who lives here barely pays attention to these crap weasels.
Truthy, anything to add?
oh hell; awesome! You have raised one who has chosen well....
Just for that? I think you underestimate.
Men build skyscrapers, go to war and fly off to the moon “just for that.”
the TP is well aware of him taking on unions and his ability to handle the press, they do not find that sufficient to counteract his RINOness.
Hope you cleaned the flute. Rofl
Ha!!!
as abominations go, i’ve seen worse....
it’s nonsensical to me. but i am sure HD will be chiming in any second now on the display of POOPERS.
