Haven’t seen this word in years. One of my favorites because of how it sounds.
I first heard this word used in a play by Moliere called “The Misanthrope.” I wonder whether one must be a drama queen to speak in a lugubrious tone.
I didn’t see a photo of the cookies - did you find one?
What words do you think will get them slammed or possibly fined this year? Sissy, pansy, "you play like a girl"...
Excellent! A+++
LOL...no, just being a subject of theWon will do. ;^)
I think I will make them. They sound good for a rainy day!
Monday in WFTD we are going to have a BRIDAL SHOWER for Neo. Yes, soother I said bridal shower. One week from tomorrow neo will be headed for connubial bliss and on Monday we will fete him.
So, students, find a thoughtful gift and come prepared on Monday— can be a .gif a .jpeg, a word of advice (we have many longtime marrieds among our ranks) a song, a dance... Whatever you deem appropriate or inappropriate, as the case may be. I will put aside some cookies to bring, as well.
I’ll get the garden hose and we can have a SURPRISE bridal shower!
do i have to show up in drag?
thanks!
No just wear a Michael Sam jersey
you mean like as a nightgown, in that hot way chicks do?
Are there enough Gays/Lessies to fill the stands of their stadium? Hope so, or they will lose money on this venture into Gaydom. I suspect the country is quickly reaching the saturation point for girlyness.
The ones I’m making are very diff, no chocolate. Just a powdered sugar glaze on a moist plain cookie.
Lugubrious weather makes one prone to the copious expulsion of loogies…
And it’s a gorgeous sunny day here now, breezy but pretty. Just perfect.
