Word For The Day 4/26/02
The Verbivores | Sappho Day | Hobbes, The Good Sub!

Posted on 04/26/2002 5:02:09 AM PDT by hobbes1

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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Happy Sappho Day!

"Holly .. and a hot tub full of lime Jello. Be there or be square."

Hmmmmn.

Technically and strictly professionally speaking of course, I'll have to look into this "be square" reference.

Just to keep you on straight and narrow.

To slide around around and rule out any approximate unseemly uncertainities.

To make sure you don't get distracted by any curves, hemispheres, semi-spheres, or multi-spheriodical bodies.

Besides, determining how many cubic inches of Jello can fit in a round hot is strictly of academic interest ....

Perhaps our physicalist expert can get his head out from under the instrument panel and apply his technology to the problem.

It will be served right before the Tennis-star sushi.

i can't believe that miss rika forbade use of this word. it is a perfectly useful word and no one is misbehaving with it at all. she acted like we would be banned for forever with uses of this word. i am frankly disappointed in the word usage thus far....
