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".

(peculate) \ˈpe-kyə-ˌlāt\

hear it pronounced

verb

to embezzle, to appropriate someone else's money or property entrusted to one's care, From LATIN peculatus literally to make public property private. Entomologically related to peculiar, from LATIN pecularis(as one's own) as in belonging exclusively to. When a person peculates he makes someone else's property peculiar, so to speak, to himself (temporarily, we hope, until to cops catch up with him)

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.

The ruling class are peculators of the first order.

A tad late posting. I just returned from MD visiting family and am down with the flu.
Gotta do my duty, though. Here’s a word we can apply in very special ways, as in Bill and Hill, the peculators.
Enjoy.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Hillary is a peculator.

[xsmommy]

thanks for your diligence in posting while ill! no need to speculate about who the peculators are, they are in the Democrat party.

[Louis Foxwell]

You peculator you, using my line. Here's your award and it is no more than you deserve. lol

[shibumi]

Somebody peculated the WFTD right out of your thread title.

[Robert A Cook PE]

A peculiar peril of a speculator: She sees money everywhere!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Hill and Barry peculate
And Jeb would merely emulate
We need someone new
Some somebody who
Will clear the air, would ventilate

[Louis Foxwell]

Or, to be even more specific, the peculators are in the uniparty. Thank you. It is good to be back.

[Louis Foxwell]

Sometimes the obtusity of these posts escapes even me. (actually, usually I am in the dark) Please explicate further.

[Louis Foxwell]

Very nice, Hillary the purile peculiarity peruses profits perilously. For your continued efforts you are hereby awarded

Pearls of Wisdom Award:

[NeoCaveman]

The more I think about it, the debate we were supposed to have was to be a compressed schedule with limited debate to shove the front runner with all the money down our throats. Yes I'm referring to Jeb. Anything more was fantasy. Good fantasy but fantasy none the less.

[Louis Foxwell]

Hooray! A ventilator. That's the ticket. The ventilator ticket:

[dblshot]

One really does not have to speculate
How Hillary got rich while Secretary of State
For just a donation
She sold out our nation
The Clinton charity is there for her to peculate.

[left that other site]

I may be peculiar, but even if I find myself to be impecunious, I try not to peculate.

It’s a peccadillo in which i do not participate.

[xsmommy]

Not sure if I agree. Jeb is such a bogeyman to Trumpbots. I think he was self destructing on his own with just the sheer blandness of him and the others could have easily outshone him. He is a nonentity. If Trump fails [and doesn’t run third party to insure a Hil win, which I still think is the plan] no way will Jeb rise up again. he’s done.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Here’s another about Hillary, harking back to her cattle futures trading (i.e., bribe-accepting) days:

“Speculation is not necessarily the same as peculation.”

[shibumi]

Your thread title -

Word for the Day:

Normally one would expect to see that word (you know, the "for the Day" word) printed after the colon.

So I speculated it's peculation.

[Travis T. OJustice]

I like that Trump is making things interesting and saying some things that need to be said, but he makes me nervous. I can’t stand Jeb, and I will never vote for him. Like everyone on FR, I’m a politics junkie, but this race just doesn’t seem anywhere near as much fun as those int he past.

Please, Jeb, just drop out. UNNNGH!

Awesome.
