Word For The Day, Monday, 9/29/14
;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".
animus; noun
1. intense dislike; hatred; animosity
2. motive, intention, or purpose
3. (in Jungian psychology) the masculine principle present in the female unconscious See also anima
Etymology: 1820, "temper" (usually in a hostile sense), from Latin animus "rational soul, mind, life, mental powers; courage, desire," related to anima "living being, soul, mind, disposition, passion, courage, anger, spirit, feeling," from PIE root *ane- "to blow, to breathe" (cf. Greek anemos "wind," Sanskrit aniti "breathes," Old Irish anal, Welsh anadl "breath," Old Irish animm "soul," Gothic uzanan "to exhale," Old Norse anda "to breathe," Old English eðian "to breathe," Old Church Slavonic vonja "smell, breath," Armenian anjn "soul"). It has no plural. As a term in Jungian psychology for the masculine component of a feminine personality, it dates from 1923.
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.

Practice makes perfect.....post on....
OMG really? he said that out loud and in a proud way in church?
that is terrible. Pitt is just ridiculous, i have no idea what is up with them.
A+++
good one. A+++
fantastic! A+++
I went to a wedding in August of 2012, just before the Obama vs. Romney election. The father of the groom gave the traditional speech at the rehearsal dinner, starting with the usual thanks to everyone who traveled long distances, continuing with how wonderful the new daughter-in-law and family are, and then ending, strangely, with, “Don’t forget to vote for Obama.”
Completely inappropriate, and, after seeing how much damage Obama did in his first term, completely nuts.
OMG i might have broken out into a very loud tourettes fit at that point!
You should have asked him if he has always supported abortion
This is why they have a hard time selling tickets to casual fans.
oh so true. A+++
they can come up big in big games and end up blowing the ridic ones. Though i guess Akron isn’t horrible. The loss to Ytown State still burns though.
Despite his masking of the truth, Obama shows an extreme animus for the concept of Liberty.
His hatred for his mother is so strong, but then she hated her own white skin too, so it is understandable
“Ze extreme animus of ze Feminazis toward men iss a manifestation of ze Junkian psychological definition of zat term ...”
A+++ it’s overt.
A+++ for Col.Klink ; )
Neither is seeking/taking revenge, but I have done both, confessed it and done penance-more than once, and likely will again...
As November approaches
The anger is beginning
To worry the senate ‘rats-
Maybe they aren’t winning
The odor of displeasure
Should not be a surprise-
The animus is there to see
Before every person’s eyes
Obama’s minions were fooled
into thinking they’re exempt
From the vote and the anger
That may just bring them down...
