Dictionary.com ^ | Thursday | tioga

Posted on 08/17/2017 6:14:39 AM PDT by tioga


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".

Kibitzer

Noun, [kib-it-ser]

1. A spectator at a card game who looks at the players' cards over their shoulders, especially one who gives unsolicited advice.

2. A giver of uninvited or unwanted advice.

3. A person who jokes, chitchats, or makes wisecracks, especially while others are trying to work or to discuss something seriously.


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. Amuse me or enlighten me to earn extra credit.

I think that in many ways the same might be said of the Democrats and Liberals.

Son arrived last night. Feeling marginally better today. Summer sinus infection is ruining the last weeks of summer.

In the steambath that Jews call a “schvitzer”
I encountered a left-wing kibitzer
He loves Barry and Hill
And Bernie and Bill
And even praised Elliot Spitzer

we don't need from Bill Kristol,
RINO kibitzer.

Serving this may result in a number of 'Kibitzers' around the food bowl…

Kristol has been torking my fine tuned Bullsh!t meter of late. His feud with Tucker was legend. Even Laura slammed him. I enjoyed watching him get his butt kicked all over twitter. Even joined in. A+++++
