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....

Here is my example with WFTD.
Because I think that we all could use at least one day per year to get a break from moronic whining celebrities, who make millions in part because of the freedoms this country provides and then complain about how bad it sucks, I'm calling on the Congress of the United States of America to make every July 3rd an official "National Moratorium On Stupid Celebrities Day" that we will use to completely ignore famous dunderheads.
With a tone of great piety
The actor spoke not at all classy
With America he’s reached satiety
So he runs to Australia’s society!
Tom Cruise I once admired greatly
‘Til his views had crystal clarity
His idiotic rants are not a rarity
So with his career, I’m quite satiety!
I'm at work today. No Friday off for me, but it is payday, so I am SATIETY too.
Did y'all have fun yesterday?
I'm at work too, although it somewhat resembles a graveyard here!
A guy out on the golf course takes a high speed ball right in the crotch. Writhing in agony, he falls to the ground. As soon as he could manage, he took himself to the doctor.
He said "How bad is it doc?.....I'm going on my honeymoon next week and my fiancee is still a virgin in every way."
The doctor told him, "I'll have to put your penis in a splint to let it heal and keep it straight. It should be okay next week."
So he took four tongue depressors and formed a neat little 4 sided bandage, and wired it all together; an impressive work of art. The guy mentions none of this to his girl, marries and goes on their honeymoon. That night in the motel room she rips open her blouse to reveal a gorgeous set of breasts. This was the first time he saw them. She said, "You're the first; no one has ever touched these breasts."
Next, she takes off her panties and reveals the golden fruit. She says, "You're the first; no one has ever touched me here."
Barely able to contain himself, he immediately drops his pants and replies,......
"Look at this, it's still in the CRATE!"
Top o' the mornin' tae ye, Miss Rika!
Sorry to be late, but the old Linux box decided it was going to be cranky this morning; it wanted to check all its filesystems first. Only after it achieved satiety would it get to work.
Umm, er... Teach?
Shouldn't that be "in satiety"?
This sapphic sister should face some jail time for reaching satiety by means of fraud
