Word For The Day, Wednesday, 2/12/03
2/12/03

Posted on 02/12/2003 12:33:25 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....


Teacher's note:

On Monday, I gave this word as an alternate for some students. It's all in good fun, but you do know that I get irked sometimes.

kvetch\KVECH\, intransitive verb:
kvetch, noun

To complain habitually.

noun:
1. A complaint.
2. A habitual complainer.

Etymology: Kvetch comes from Yiddish kvetshn, "to squeeze, to complain," from Middle High German quetzen, quetschen, "to squeeze."

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

So, guilty of running over the guy with the SUV......
Must we now outlaw Weapons of Mass Compaction?

Was it 4WD? Then it's a Weapon of Mass Quad-traction...

Probation -my A$S!
That would be the equivalent of declaring "OPEN SEASON" on all cheating spouses. Despicable as Mr. Harris' behavior may have been....a death sentence imposed by a jury of ONE is just a tad over the top.

Clara Harris is a well-funded, well-educated woman... she could have inflicted untold punishment on her husband by means of your average scum-sucking, bottom-feeding divorce lawyer... Mr. Harris would then only WISH that he were dead.

Actually, the murder weapon was a big-a$s Mercedes sedan.
Probably more lethal than an SUV... less ground clearance.

"he sure as hell was begging to be kilt!

Underneath it all, I'm sure he was a just flat-out nice guy.

(This whole trial was a speedbump in her life - a short detour in her car'srear as a lawyer that I'm sure she'll put behind her as they iron out those small differences between herself and her husband.)

as to Clara, i hope she gets probation, based on the act of passion mitigating circumstance or whatever they call it in TX. she ain't going to kill anyone else and he sure as hell was begging to be kilt!

If the sexes were switched, I don't any guy could post such defenses without being flamed to a crisp and call a mysogynist(sp?)

These puns are getting tiring. I think we need to curb the topic or steer the thread in another direction.

Changing lanes so quickly, that is quite the U-turn

Up until the end of the last century (geeze, that sounds funny when you think that was only three years ago!), in most states, if a husband caught his wife in adultery, he was justified in whatever he did to her and her lover. The woman wasn't so lucky, if she caught her husband and his lover, the standard excuse was "Oh, he's just a man and they can't be monogomous!). Isn't it funny, that still seems to be the case!!!!
