Word For The Day, Tuesday January 14, 2014
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".

[1655–65; < Latin rōborant- (stem of rōborāns ), present participle of rōborāre to strengthen, equivalent to rōbor- (stem of rōbur ) oak, hardness + -ant- -ant]
La sonrisa
-n
smile
Ella encaró cada día con una radiante sonrisa.
She greeted each day with a radiant smile.
Thats what forced me to reconsider....however, my mai point was it was not for the car.
I suspected her initially, because that makes the most sense.
Carjackers get to a chop shop. They stuck this car right off the hi way
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto...
Perhaps there was a cop on the street and they got scared and ditched the car - perhaps they realized they were on the hook for murder and decided THAT wasn't worth the few bucks they would get for turning in the car to a chop shop. But you decided the wife was to blame - for money.
Haha
I thought women thought confidence is sexy.
Update from last week’s story
An Omaha, NE juvenile court ruled on Monday that the 2-year-old and his 17-year-old mother will both be placed with the same foster family.
The 2-year-old boy is being raised by a 17-year-old mother, who lived with her 19-year-old sister and their 38-year-old mother was recently incarcerated on gun charges. There were other children in the house as well.
Douglas County, NE attorney Don Kleine believes there was a constant danger in the homes.
“Some of the danger that we’ve seen previously was a history of gang involvement,” Kleine said. “There was a shooting involved that, in fact, one of the children was injured by shrapnel from [the] shots fired.”
*********************************
The 2 year old child belongs to a 17 year old child. Do the math. Sex at 14/15.
In October, there was a driveby at their previous house and the toddler was injured.
And grandma is in jail on gun charges.
So, yeah, I still think it was a good idea to investigate this.
Well, that first one doesn’t compute well with the Texmex I speak, but I’ll muddle through-
Roborant isn’t a term that
I’ve heard anytime before-
But the latest DC scandals
Certainly open a happy door
From Bengazi to enemies lists
It is just enough to bring
Una sonrisa en los labios-
And it is a lovely thing
From the new book on Hillary-
It is certainly no surprise
That she and Bill are Nixonian
To someone with wide-open eyes...
How would you say “smile”?
And the translation of your screen name, in the vernacular of the dialect spoken here always makes me giggle-ay,que verga! is something I say under my breath to describe a sanctimonious, insufferable man...
Smile is sonrisa-it is “roberant” that I’m not familiar with-”fuerte” is strong.
Gotcha. I misunderstood you.

VDH used yesterday’s word in his column.
I was a mom at 17-I assumed adult responsibilities-went to work as a cocktail waitress, and my first year of college-no government daycare, no food stamps-not all of us are dumbasses at that age-or at least we weren’t 30-40 years ago...
T5 soother did an English word and a Spanish word as a bonus.
And they aren’t saying this particular 17 YO is a bad mother either. But the environment she was in is another thing.
Oh, thanks-I misunderstood-I thought the robotic one was some obscure dialect...
Well, she is an ignorant one, at the very least-and I can’t imagine a 17 year old who is a mom being placed in a foster home like a little kid-don’t our tax dollars still pay rent for single moms to have a section 8 home? I’m willing to bet the “foster home” is right in the same crappy place-and people-she is in right now-would it not be best to get her away from that neighborhood and mindset? And maybe some parenting classes, job training, etc?
I’m already correct.
It was not a carjack.
It was a murder....under some other guise.
They took the car, down I280, and left it, one block from the exit.
This poor guy was killed for something other than the car.
Try to be a tad logical. 4 guys commit murder. For a car.
But they had no place to sell it beforehand? Because they didn’t afterward.
Or..alternatively
The murdered a guy for a 7 minute joy ride down I280....
Given the facts afterward, give me a plausible explanation ....
The fact they dumped the car where they did, is telling.
I hope they put enough thought into it to move her somewhere out of that area.
17 is still a minor. I don’t think you get a free gov’t home until you are 18.
Sorry for the rant-I was pushing 30 years ago at work to get young women like that out of the s*** the were living in by cutting off the greedy relatives, and dropping the mom into an unfamiliar, but safer and more sensible place. They nearly always get to like the nicer life after awhile, and actually become people you would want to know.
