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....

Those darned electrical conduits that the janitor left behind is what is keeping the door jammed up. Let's see if we can shove the door open just a teeny bit more.

Has SCalGal been ordained a Coquette by SeaDragon?

I haven't had the opportunity to invite her into the group yet but she seems to fit in nicely.

Welcome to the Coquettes SCalGal.
