Word For The Day, Tuesday January 19, 2015
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".

Informal. to cease functioning, especially suddenly and completely; fall apart; fail:
It’s a bitter cold wind here, but no snow to shovel.
We’ve had some cold windy days, but no snow. I worked longer than I expected to and forgot about lunch-so I put a can of tuna onto a few torn-up romaine lettuce leaves, added an avocado, a tomato, a boiled egg, poured on some vinegar and olive oil and made it my late lunch-now I don’t want the chicken I took out of the freezer for dinner-fortunately, I have some leftover grilled chicken to put into Husky girl’s food, so she will be happy...
Would I be rude to whine about 65 degs being chilly in west palm beach?
Enjoy! Winter will still be around when you get home, and your yard will probably be snow covered.
That may be but if you meet a pittsburgher anywhere outside of the region they will be friendlier than most others. It’s much more noticeable when you’re elsewhere. But then I grew up and lived in westmoreland county so I might take that for granted.
Very true!
Are you coming home Friday during the big snowstorm?
Not far from the glass lined vats in Latrobe, eh? (rolling rock brewery)
Saturday and could quite possibly be snowed out of DC
Ah yes rolling rock !
So what does fr make of the Palin endorsement of trump? She’s as shrill as ever, heard it last night.
They make Rolling Rock in New Jersey now.
They brew Iron City in the old Latrobe brewery.
True can do no wrong, so it doesn’t matter if Palin has overlooked all of her principles to endorse him.
Stupidty run rampant, in other words.
Every aspect of the world is upside down.
Was it South Africa Brewing (miller) that bought them out?
That’s great they still use the place. I’ll have to try Iron City when I get back there next week. I didn’t have any time for any shenanigans this trip.
I love Palin. She drives the liberals foaming-at-the-mouth crazy, not that it’s a difficult thing.
I think it tends to marginalize trump just a little bit more. Will it help or hurt overall? I don’t think it will make any difference.
InBev owned them, then sold the brand (not the brewery) to AB. AB moved production to NJ.
Then a year or two later, InBev bought AB. Presumably to regain Rolling Rock.
That whole industry is weird.
Thanks for the synopsis.
Do not care for her at all. She could’ve chosen to get coached up policy wise and had a voice coach work on that shrill speaking voice and been a player but she went for the $$ on reality tv. The conservative women I know in real life agree.
Xshub played golf today and was paired up with a random guy, recently retired Jewish guy from Long Island. Worked for NBC in DC. He asked him hil or bern? Answer...the Donald. Guy claims trump will take FL, both primary and the general. He’s worried about his retirement, is losing 25 k per month, thinks trump is he answer.
