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.

Mittwoch conFLAGration kudos.
You are quite the Grinch today.
Humbug. LOL
Hi, yes please add me to your ping list. Thanks much.
Great! I will alert the other teachers.
I think they meant hotmessianic.
Maybe not, but that prize heifer and her brother are so used to being treated like royalty in La because they are from an old family of carpetbaggers that she won’t last long at any job where she doesn’t get catered to...
Wonderful story.
Ha- I didn’t realize I’d put “heifer” and “catering” in the same post about Mary Landrieu-she will no doubt demand that her employer have her lunch catered...
That is a great story-I read it once, a long time ago in a magazine, but I’d forgotten about it-thanks!.
What a heartwarming story.
You flatter her too much. LOL
Well pooh! Seems snopes (if they can be trusted) says this is only half right. Sorry folks - I usually check these things but I trusted a Canadian! lol
Wow-it has been out there for awhile, too-the article I saw about it in a magazine was at least 12 years ago, but the story was pretty much the same...
Maybe vexillologists can answer this for me — if this the guy who invented the rainbow flag?

They are obsessed with diversity.
Charlie Daniels makes that point so much more deliciously in Uneasy Rider.

Yep...NIMBY...
How much more idiocy can rational people take?
Duke Lacrosse, Lena Dunham...
myriad racial incidents, with Martin as a progenitor, and Ferguson as the Wave incident.?
every one of these incidents, is an exemplary leftist construct,
the destruction of unionism, the acceptance of rape culture (the alleged patrirarchy), the manufactured crises as instrument of social change..

Atlas needs to shrug.
