Word For The Day, Wednesday, December 10, 2014-- vexillology
;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".
vexillology [vek-suh-lol-uh-jee]
noun 1. the study and collection of information about flags
Origin: 1959, from Latin vexillum "flag" + -ology.
-ology: word-forming element indicating "branch of knowledge, science," now the usual form of -logy. Originally used c.1800 in nonce formations (commonsensology, etc.), it gained legitimacy by influence of the proper formation in geology, mythology, etc., where the -o- is a stem vowel in the previous element.

Homework is due.
my ofc smells yummy because I have a crockpot full of “chicken and stuffing a la Whyisa” next to my desk. our ofc party is today.
Is that an approved electrical appliance? ;-)
Nice association!
A crockpot in your office and a crackpot in the White House.
I got a big bang out of that picture.
GMTA! That was my first thought when I saw the word!
So, the guys studying the transmission of AIDS (and now Obolo?) through the witchcraft and sorcery communities are actually studying hexillology?
did I mention that I have a space heater? and when several of us have our space heaters turned on, the power goes out in my ofc? is that not RIDICULOUS? there are 4 of us on the same circuit and for the past 6 weeks or so, it happens at least 1-2x per week. building may totally blow up today with crockpots going!
truth.
Vex, hex, sex...whatever.
It is ridiculous. Heaters must be forbidden. ;-)
i’d have to sue over frigid workplace conditions....
The WH’ many distracting operations raise the false flag to the status of legitimate signifier. What would a vexillologist recommend that we might fly the flag of deceit over the WH?

Speaking of scandals, I found it laughable that Grubby Gruber lawyered up when they asked him how much money he was paid. It’s difficult to say “about six million bucks” when Obama implied that he was just a minor player in the ACA. Okay, then how much did the major players receive?
