Word For The Day, Wednesday, 4/29/15
;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".
Sang froid; noun
1. coolness of mind; calmness; composure: They committed the robbery with complete sang-froid. Quotes Admitting to himself that he was not possessed of genuine, innate sang-froid, he nevertheless firmly resolved to behave always as a fearless man would in his place. -- Vladimir Nabokov, Glory, translated by Dimitri Nabokov, 1971
Etymology: Sang-froid comes from the French expression of the same spelling that literally means "cold blood." It entered English in the 1740s.
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....
So Barack is a snake or a lizard? Guess that fits.
There was an old 'Friends' ep where the actor-character "Joey" sang Freud;
Even as a pro, you'd need to have sang-froid to pull this off w/o cracking up…
it will go by in a blur, try to savor it!
haha!! A+++
A++++ great!
I think it will be awesome for the Church. It will force them to realize that they are not “buddy buddy” with their government Democrat pals. They are seen as the enemy.
The bishops are currently in bed with the Democrat government. As long as Obama continues to leave the cash on the nightstand I don’t see that changing.
A Reading from the Book of the Profiting…
Obama’s ego is so enormous
He will do whatever he can-
He even stole camera time
From the PM of Japan-
A reporter said “Baltimore”
And without breaking stride
Obama stepped right up, and
Almost pushed the PM aside
Hogging the podium, scolding
He blamed almost every cop
For the burning and looting
They were told not to stop...
I saw the replay of him responding to the reporter’s dog whistle, dismissing the Japanese PM with I’m sorry, this is important-as if the PM’s visit was trivial-I can’t believe the lack of manners...
It did not get up to even 60 yesterday and it was 41 this morning, but is supposed to be 70 this afternoon-this is perfect weather-wish it was like this all Spring...
If that crap of trying to negate the beliefs of Christians keeps up, I hope some states will just leave an atheist-leaning union...
It will be revealing. May we live in interesting times.
ACLU sues feds to force Catholic charities to provide abortions for illegal immigrants
Can a church go Galt?
We may find out.
Maybe awesome for the Church but perhaps not for the true faithful believers.
Some faithful priests and bishops might but I kind of expect the happy slaps to cave. Perhaps even Frank. The synod will shed some light on that,
Wow! I missed all that I will need to go read. A++++
It’s ramping up.
It will be awesome for the true faithful. The pretenders will be exposed. Oh, sure it will be ugly. But also illuminating.
