Word For The Day, Tuesday August 9, 2016
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".
bumptious [buhmp-shuh s]
-adj
1. offensively self-assertive
[1795-1805; bump + (frac)tious]
Get at it!
Oh come on now, people LOVE Goldman Sach’s alums and former CIA spooks /Bill Krisol mode off
The bumptuous Donald Trump
while out on the stump
Fills the stands with voters
While Hillary stutters
In an epileptic slump.
A politician’s platform must encompass
A direction and a moral compass
If Trump
Needs a bump
He should work on being less bumptious
I would wish that answwering a FR Word-of-the-Day post would bumpitous the head of the page ... Bump a lass, it does not.
yes! and for God’s sake, STOP talking about the dang BABY! bad enough the media is fixated on that story, HE won’t leave it alone either! good grief!!
Did you see this tearjerker?
The Donald’s aggressive and bumptious
His minions are proud and rambunctious
Every vow that they took
Will help bury “The Crook”
No regrets; no one’s feeling compunctious
I hadn’t, but now I am bawling at my desk, thanks! ; )
The hand wringers who whine
That Trump is so aggressive
Have gone past real concern
And are now just obsessive
Ignoring bumptious Obama
Who at any time or any place
Attacks anyone who disagrees
By getting right into their face
And of course there is Hillary
The elitist and criminal choice
All stoned in her Prozac dream
Scolding in a monotone voice...
Did you watch Tyrant last week? It certainly didn’t take long for Barry to do exactly what we were saying here he would do-Molly was barely out the door...
And the open way his son is having an affair is probably not going to end well, either-the general and Leila are actually behaving with more discretion then Barry or the kid...
That illustrates perfectly why socialism/communism never works in the long-term-when people have no sense of pride or accomplishment, they just go to the job the government gives them, do as little as possible and make crappy products that fall apart/don’t work-like what happened in the old USSR-when it fell, the whole country was broke-except for the elites, of course-and no one remembered how to make a decent product, set up a private company, etc, so they were into criminal enterprises.
My 1st husband did some engineering work on a warehouse and office building that housed a liquor import and wholesale business-he got to know the owner quite well, and sometimes the guy would give people he’s done business with special liquor and wine-one of our favorites was brandy, cognac and wine imported illegally from Russia-it was really good stuff, and not as expensive as the legal stuff from other countries...
Give a crowd the worth of a motorcycle, and you can feed them for a day.
Teach them to build you a motorcycle, and you’re in for the ride of your life!
>> bumptious
bump it ... (ious) to the top ;)
