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....

As a birthday present to CD, I decided that I could not, in good conscience, leave you all in a state of nescience about a delightful comment in today's Page Six. Scroll down to the "Sightings" section, and say a brief prayer of thanks that A:They were kind enough not to include any photos, and B:Whatever problems you may have in life, YOUR LAST NAME IS NOT CLINTON.

Feel better already, don't you?

[VRWCmember]

Actually, that is discrimination -- not harassment.

[Gabz]

Oh, all right - I hate to see grown women cry.

"His right index finger is now broken in two places

Good job! You should have given him cholera, Joe.

Good Job? HE***L!

I'm still trying to figure out how Joe got the pickpocket to insert his finger someplace so tight and so repulsive that he had to break it in two places trying to twist it back out .....

[xsmommy]

thanks for making that distinction, counselor...; )

[Robert A Cook PE]

And yes, I do thank the merciful and just Lord that I am not a Clinton.

Thanks!

The perfect guitar for any Green Bay Packers fan!

[SCalGal]

You are doing very well!

I can tell my story about how I embarrassed the constuction workers, and they told my boss... You know how they hoot and holler when you walk by in a skirt and high heels? Well, if they can't take the heat, they oughta stay out of the kitchen.

[xsmommy]
