Word For The Day, 1/21/03 Tuesday

Posted on 01/21/2003 7:39:12 AM PST by Bella_Bru
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....
Thank you, xsmommy, for today's WFTD suggestion. If any of you have a suggestion for a word you'd like to see used, please FReepmail me. If the word has not been used recently, I will add it to our list.
shibboleth \Shib"bo*leth\, noun:
1. A word or pronunciation that distinguishes people of one group or class from those of another.
2. A word or phrase identified with a particular group or cause; a catchword.
3. A commonplace saying or idea.
4. A custom or practice that betrays one as an outsider.
Etymology: From the Hebrew shibb[=o]leth an ear of corn, or a stream, a flood. From the use of this word to distinguish one tribe from another that pronounced it sibbolet
