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....

OH GOD! Say it ain't so! For the love of all that is decent and godly, American and patriotic, holy and itinerant, please USE FREEPMAIL for that stuff!

Or at least use codewords.

Nothing, I hate them. An old college buddy of mine went there for one year and is totally obnoxious about their football team. Just like he is about the Dolphins. So I hate both teams. The above was a sample of remarks he gleaned from the Miami Hurricanes website.

So what is it that you did to claim the crown?

You used "interlocutor" all over the place, correctly...or...?

...or must I oppugn your "generous" invitation?

Gotcha. Sorry you didn't get the trip, but Miami isn't the place to go anyway. How's about Scotland?

GAD. How the hell did y'all get 600 posts on here already. I ain't even woke up yet.

These three guys escape from Alcatraz prison. One is british, one is American, and the last one is Turkish.

But now they're bored and so they're wandering around thinking of something to do.

"Let's play golf." The American finally says.

"I don't know how to play that." The Turk says.

"Oh it's easy, " answers the Brit, "all you need is a ball, a stick, and a hole."

"I got the ball, " says the American,

"I got the stick, " says the Brit.

Then the Turk says, "I don't wanna play."

He took no "kinks" out, Missy! He spread 'em all over the place!

He can't help himself when a pretty girl wanders in, breezes by, or is posted two-dimensionally.
