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....

Good Morning, Welcome to WFTD.
It took me two or three days to calm down after reading about the outrageous observation by California's loony liberal Sen. Dianne Feinstein that she was "embarrassed" to wear her U.S. flag lapel pin overseas. Her anti-American venom was spewed while sharing her observation that many Europeans don't like us very much. And so this powerful, veteran United States senator felt ashamed to admit to being an American.
If you hate us so,
Don't be dilatory, fool.
Leave the country now!
Sen. Dianne 'Anti-American' Feinstein
