Word For The Day, Tuesday September 26, 2017
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".
blithe [klan-des-tin]
-adj
1. joyous, merry, or happy in disposition; glad; cheerful
2. without thought or regard; carefree; heedless
[before 1000; Middle English; Old English blīthe; cognate with Old Norse blīthr, Old High German blīdi, Gothic bleiths]
Go
The NFL is in blithe denial of their impending doom.
What happens when you go to Wilkinsburg to play a Christian school:
Blithe is not a word that describes Hillary, ever. Trump, on the other hand, can typically be described as blithe. Trouble rolls off him like oil off a duck’s back. His charming NY mouth gets him into and out of trouble with alacrity. Blithe alacrity, interesting.
Hillary’s a liar, not lithe
Last November: her spirit was blithe
Then Election Day came
And she was never the same
In agony, despair she doth writhe
The NFLs liberalism has reached a height
That its future may not be so bright
Im not sad at all
Theres still college ball
To keep my sports jones quite blithe
Boy, I never would have pronounced blithe like that.
The entire democrat plutocracy - and all of their parasitic government programs - should be cast adrift like Captain Blithe.
That’s what I’m here for. Explaining the difficult-to-pronounce words. :-)
If the NFL blithely continues
In the direction they have chosen,
Then they are sure to lose
As their fans feel insulted, and frozen.
Who wants to purchase their tickets,
And be subjected to their demands?
When your logic is just met with “crickets”
As you’re shivering up in the stands?
And what would a struggling Veteran,
Be inspired to cry for
When privileged, entitled, wusses
Spit on the Flag he would die for?
Good to learn today
that blithe sounds like clandestine
like Billy Jeff Blythe.
It is only 75 and the rainy season has begun-it has been raining off and on since yesterday-love it...
Snowflakes blithe and clueless
Look on campuses for any sign
Of someone with some opinion
That will trigger them to whine
It only has to be different from
Their delusion to have the power
To just get them screaming like
A little bitch in a cold shower
It will certainly be a rude shock
When they go for an interview-
And find out how reality bites
When it isn’t all just about you
Great liberal Zuckerberg seems awfully blithe toward his subordinates:

dang. so they called the game is it considered a Jeannette win or no?
Yes, it stands as a final. The league is having a hearing today on the situation. I would expect some punishment of the Christian school.
