Word For The Day, monday, 7/7/14
;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".
truculent; adj.
1. fierce; cruel; savagely brutal.
2. brutally harsh; vitriolic; scathing: his truculent criticism of her work.
3. aggressively hostile; belligerent.
Etymology: c.1540, from L. truculentus "fierce, savage," from trux (gen. trucis) "fierce, wild."
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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
To combat illegal alien truculence, citizens are undertaking to do that which the gov't will not.
No pushing at the door please!
holiday week traffic bridges both sides of the long weekend. hallelujah.
Morning.
good morning.
“I don’t know what ‘truculent’ means, but if it’s something good, that’s me.”
The seeking, escorting, importing, distribution
and quartering of hundreds of thousands
criminal illegals aliens, some also terrorists,
narcoterrorists, felons, some weaponzed,
some as sex slaves, and with known mules
carrying incurable diseases to 57 states
is nothing but truculent treason.
Today’s truculent treason has been brought
to YOU, and abetted, condoned, and aided,
by the complicit EXEMPT US Congress.
A+++ I cannot STAND brian burke. he has very little to commend him hockey-wise, and is arrogant beyond belief. not wild about Patrick either and his pushing of the gay envelope constantly bc of the deceased gay brother.
Morning. My commute to the living room took less than a minute, even with my gimpy knee.
XS, I’m sorry; I wrecked that truculent me.
A+++ is he still alive?
A+++ outrageous.
are you ok???? ; )
Gee, I thought that was a rather good pun.
Obama is arrogant, truculent
Michelle bans all foods that are succulent
Amidst liberal praise
Middle fingers, they raise
Lest you forget where the “f*** you” went
A+++ it was : )
A++++ just finished Blood Feud, it rings true to me. The Obams hate the clintoons with a passion and vice versa. and OMG did you hear Joan Rivers this weekend, call Mooch a TRANNY, we were rolling on the floor!
Mooch bans goodies for the “little people”, while sucking down the good stuff herself.
It appears that our government is becoming more truculent in it’s treatment of citizen who oppose it’s Marxist national agenda.
(Sorry to be so negative this early morn)
Ha! That’s how I first learned about that word!
