Posted on 07/02/2002 6:59:46 AM PDT by RikaStrom

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....

"Former Vice Perpetrator Algore* temerariously unleashed some hyperbolic rhetoric last weekend in strident criticism of the Bush administration. Most conservatives welcome his piffle, however, since his every word further confirms his ignorance and irrelevance."
