Word For The Day, Tuesday September 16, 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".

las noticias [noh-TEES-ee-ahs]

Hmmmmn.
Obama’s hypnopompous self-congratulatory me-myself-and-myoptic media seem to have gotten their marching orders: Every news radio show this yesterday and this morning are full of how many Arab allies are coming to the rescue (er, co-little-listen) for his failed not-anti-Muslim-anti-not-terror program of not-quite-warfare.....

It was on tv when my son came into the room - I said, “who would buy something like that?” - I was thinking old commies from the 60’s....my son, as usual, broke it down to a group who would probably have no idea what it was meant to represent: “teams who play against them in football”
urban outfitters does carry a lot of retro type stuff, that’s kitschy.
The pompous hype-notist (hope-notist?) still has a significant portion of the electorate in a hypnopompic state ...
