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....
incult \In*cult"\, adjective:
1. Not cultured; coarse.
2. Untilled; uncultivated; crude; rude; uncivilized.
Her forests huge,
Incult, robust, and tall, by Natures hand
Planted of old; her azure lakes between,
Poured out extensive, and of watry wealth
Full; winding deep and green, her fertile vales,
With many a cool translucent, brimming flood
Washed lovely, from the Tweed, pure parent stream,
Whose pastoral banks first heard my Doric reed,
With sylvan Jed, thy tributary brook,
To where the north-inflated tempest foams. James Thomson, 1700-1748
Title of this poem is unknown, but can be found here.
Byways of the Scottish Border; "Jethart's Here!".
Etymology: Latin incultus, from in- + cultus, past participle of colere to cultivate. Date: 1599.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with WFTD.
''I have personally struggled with this issue,'' Clark wrote. ''At the same time, most of us reluctantly accept the reality that this University cannot afford the loss of federal funds.... To say that this decision is just about money trivializes the significance these funds have on students' educations, faculty careers, and scientific research that can lead to cures to life-threatening illnesses and debilitating diseases.'' (snip)
If the law school didn't change its stance, the Air Force vowed to recommend to the secretary of defense that funding to all of Harvard, not just the law school, be denied. The applicable grants, from several federal agencies, totaled about $328 million, 16 percent of Harvard's operating budget, Clark wrote.
Harvard and your perverted groups
The rules have always applied you
Your choice to ignore the recruiting troops
Has now brought your values into view
Your incult student groups don't understand
It's all about the money; the law of the land.
Harvard Law ends its ban on military - Emotional letter cites loss of funding

Every day we shove and push
To be the first on the short bus
Xsmommy, hobbes and dubs
Wetbars, closets and beer tubs
If you really think youre strong
Maybe you can ride along
I dont want to cause no fuss
But here it is the new Short Bus!
Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS
Bet you things dont get too far
Before camles got a new cigar
Argh is running for his life
From ending up with the ex-wife
Gabz is getting far from fat
Swimming round in the beer vat
Therese no rules, and theres no muss
Ridin on this here Short Bus
Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS
Singing:
WotsamoddaU hey,
Gotta no respect, whatta you think you do,
Why you looka so sad?
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,
Ah, Shaddap You Face.
Well, I dont know why I came here today
I got the feeling that things aint goin my way.
Im so scared in case I fall up the stairs
And that noise th only thing I can hear
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.
Yes, Im stuck in thecloset with you,
And Im wondering what it is I should do.
Its so hard to setup Argh with my ex,
like some people only are about sex.
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.
Well, you started off with learning,
And you find yer stomachs turnin man.
And your friends they all come crawlin,
Swim in the beer vat and say, Please, please.
Trying to make martinis for all,
But I can see nobodys drinkin at all.
Is it cool to go to chomp on a big cigar?.
Poor Gus is out polishing the car
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.
Well, you started off with learning,
And you find yer stomachs turnin man.
And your friends they all come crawlin,
Swim in the beer vat and say, Please, please.
Well, I dont know why I came here today
I got the feeling that things aint goin my way.
Im so scared in case I fall off the stairs
And that noise th only thing I can hear
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.
Yes Im, stuck in the closet with you,
Stuck in the closet with you,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.
