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....

The Long Cut thread wasn't; we're talking about one I think you may not have seen. It was military in nature, as well.

[Mo1]

Oh ok .. thanks for clearing that up .. still sorry to hear it was pulled .. but I can take a guess of how it went

[SeaDragon]

Pretty sad indeed.

With all this excitement of a new student in the classroom, I can't believe y'all let this little piece of "BS" float by without a comment........

ROFLMAO........ decorum? In here?.......... lol

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Sorry, meant to include you too in my last post........

[tpaine]

Yep, it is sad, when people hide behind the mods to play their silly taunting games. Cowards ALL, imo.

[tpaine]

see 253

[Mo1]

What you mean he hasn't been in your class yet??

Oh you don't know what you've been missing

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

No sweat. : ) (It was a good one - LOL!)

[SeaDragon]

Be gone, little man. You are not welcome here.

[tpaine]

I'll gladly leave, if you creeps stop the cowardly sly remarks.
- Deal?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I think it would be more fun for you to have to keep following each of us all night to see if we are talking about you.......deal?

[NeoCaveman]

And 256 was addressed to you. You don't listen very well, do you?

[tpaine]

See 253. You want to defy the mod, and play games wih the posting guidelines, it's fine with me.
As far as I'm concerned, no mods, & 'backroom' rules would be great for ALL of FR.

[NeoCaveman]

ROFLMAO........ decorum? In here?.......... lol

Laughing at me are ya ;-)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

My God do you not have a sense of humor at all? Forgive me, I didn't realize you were that upset...... not another word from me........

[tpaine]

That is totally uncalled for. We try to have some decorum on this thread. Care to apologize to me, or buzz off?
256

How apropo for your posts here 'dub'. -- Thanks.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Well you have to admit, dubya, saying we use decorum in here was a little over the top, don't you think?

[tpaine]

Lighten up. I laugh at you clowns ALL the time. - Like now.
